Since my last post received a lot of very insightful comments, I decided to tweak my resume to emphasize some of the qualities you all thought are crucial/appreciable for engineers to possess. Please let me know what you think of my resume and work experience. So far, I have only received rejections from internship applications.
Hello everyone,
I am currently pursuing a master's in civil engineering with an emphasis in water resources. I am trying to break into the engineering field after working a few jobs and graduating with a physics BS.
I am looking at this opportunity as a way to acquire new skills and refine my current skills. Graduating with a physics degree, I believe I have a strong foundation in understanding concepts and having strong analytical and pattern recognition skills. However, I wanted to get a better understanding of what skills you would appreciate seeing from a new employee.
The one that stands out the most is communication, which I have been working to improve. But are there any others that may be crucial to everyday work or could be the reason that employee receives a promotion?
Thank you.
