| You
have accepted your first job, and shortly, will
start working and begin your career as a practicing
engineer. (For information on the job search process,
check out the module "Job Hunting") If you are like
most recent graduates, you likely have many questions
racing through your mind: "Am I ready?" "Do I know
enough?" "What will it be like?" 'What will they
expect from me?' "How can I prepare myself to succeed?"
Making the transition from a campus environment
to the workplace can be scary. But that is not because
there is anything inherently frightening about starting
your first job. It relates more to the fact that
you are moving from the known comfort of your academic
life to the unknown realities of your professional
life. The intent of the module is to help ease those
transition anxieties by providing you with insight
as to what to expect during your first days, weeks
and months on the job and at the same time help
you build the foundation for a successful engineering
career. |
