  The Problem of Limited Guidance
 
Without any direction or guidance from your supervisor, take matters into your own hands. Speak with the supervisor. Emphasize your eagerness to learn the job and contribute to your group and the company. Ask your supervisor's advice on the steps you can take to speed up your development and to be assigned some projects to work on. If after doing this you still find yourself without direction, seek out other members of your group for help and guidance. Many engineers like to pass on their knowledge to the next generation of engineers. Offer to assist them. In demonstrating initiative and a willingness to learn, you will find a suitable mentor. Also seek out other early career engineers. They have recently been through what you are now encountering and can offer additional insights that can aid in your development.
