Please join us as Dallas SWE Past President (FY17 & FY18) Shelley Stracener discusses new job opportunities available by looking outside your current industry.
Many engineers question whether they’ve chosen the right industry, company, of job function for them. If a role isn’t going well, will they be stuck in that job forever? Fortunately, an engineering education is one of the most versatile tools you have to make a difference in just about any industry and position. It won’t be easy, but taking charge of your own career path will empower you to make great leaps when (not if!) your circumstances or life goals change. We’ll discuss how to make the case for your transferable skills and some important considerations for making strategic career moves.
