January 29, 2010, Newsletter Issue #9: Temporary Jobs to Further Your Civil Engineer Career
Tip of the Week
If you've decided to pursue a civil engineer career, you must first receive a degree in civil engineering. You must also build your skill sets that are required in the field of civil engineering. To assess careers in this field, you might consider temporary jobs. Not only will you be able to narrow down your specialty preference, you'll also build up your skill sets. Even entry-level positions require a certain level of skill in interpreting calculations and drawings completed by design and development teams, contractors and consulting firms. Be sure that you have a firm handle on the fundamentals in order to catapult yourself into better civil engineering jobs.
Expanding your skill sets does you no good if your experience isn't well-documented. Potential employers need detailed records of what you have done, even if it's from school projects. Be sure to provide details about your specific contributions from design to execution. Additional knowledge, such as familiarity with permit and safety requirements will prove beneficial in your job search.
