Blog that attitude!

It’s been almost a month now when I "kicked off" a career as an engineer with a local engineering company and it has been a great experience so far meeting new people and learning the system of the company. At the time when the company was busy with so many projects going on, I would say the appointment of my position did not allow me to relax as most fresh graduates would have the benefit of sitting down and learning things in a longer time frame or training period as most would have gone through.

         On the other hand, I have to be on some sort of a "On the Job training" and the expectations of my superior to pick up as fast as possible means that I have to stay up till late midnights most of the time starting from the first day at work. Of course it was really taxing especially in the first week since I am not used to such long hours of working but as weeks passes by I am getting the hang of it now and to proove of my determination in my work it seems neccesary to go the extra mile at least during these few months until the probation period has lapsed and hopefully I would have been confirmed by then.

         I would say that as an electrical engineer in my company, the scope of my job is not just limited to that field but about 80% of time I find myself engaging in mechanical stuffs and to switch from electrical jargons to mechanical jargons takes a little bit of time but of course my fellow colleagues are kind enough to share thier knowledge and right now I have to do both electrical and mechanical jobs! Now, I can say that in my lifetime I have learnt  3 types of Engineering- Civil(during high school days) Electrical and Electronics(tertiary) and Mechanical(career)!!

            Currently, I am satisfied with my work, pay is good including ovetime pay and still picking up things here and there and hopefully I would establish myself within the company in a year time…..and of course more travelling oppurtunities by then!
