5 Job Areas to Consider in Advanced Manufacturing

5 Job Areas to Consider in Advanced Manufacturing 5 Job Areas to Consider in Advanced Manufacturing Mechanical engineering already presents its share of employment possibilities, but combine it with the white-hot field of advanced manufacturing and theopportunities only widen. ASME.org looks at five job areas for MEs to consider in this expansive category. Medical Device Design and Manufacturing Healthcare is a field that will likely grow as time goes on, and medical device development and manufacturing has opportunities within it. Its not just whether you can create something but can you make sure it will meet regulations, reminds Dr. Nabil Nasr, associate provost and director of the Golisano Institute for Sustainability at the Rochester Institute of Technology. For a company like a Johnson Johnson, GE Medical, or Siemens, there are a good amount of suppliers that work with them to platzdeckchen up manufacturing processes and will also need expertise from the production side as wel l. In addition, many with a mind for engineering often have an interest or an aptitude for medicineheres a chance to combine both without all those years of medical school. Sustainability Manufacturing With growing demand and rising consumption in many countries around the world today, we need solutions to be environmentally conscious and for products to be disposable at the end of life. Sustainable manufacturing design is extremely valuable hereif an engineer can find ways for products, even electronic games, that end up in the trash or recycled to be recovered, its huge, Nasr says. Think of the demand to do this even with small appliances. To see a product to the very endrather than just its function during usethats a different level of being a visionary.The Google driverless car.

Developed at the Rochester Institute of Technology, he says, a group called Vnomics Corp. has been able to take advantage of embedded sensors. Looking at aspects such as autonomous vehicles and advanced safety, we see mechanical engineers in this work area are in high demand, he says. The company has around 75 mechanical and electrical engineers to show for it, according to Nasr. Welding Engineer Richard Trillwood, CEO and Founder of Electron Beam Engineering, says welding engineers are in strong demand, with lasers and electron beam work among the leading areasof opportunity. Laser is expanding at a very high rate and you have to consider fusion welding as on the move as well, he says. This involves electron beam, friction, projection resistance, and more. For someone who takes to the subject matter, there is a lot of potential. Supply Chain Strategy When it comes to the manufacturing environment, you often hear that learning how to qualify a supplier production is key, Nasr says. Here, he believes mechanical engineers can have an edge. Its how you deal with the m echanics of having a supply chain that ultimately results in getting the final product produced at the right specification, he says. Mechanical engineers have the hintergrund to hone in on problems that get in the way. Eric Butterman is an independent writer.

6 Tips for Talking With Executives - The Muse

6 Tips for Talking With Executives - The Muse6 Tips for Talking With ExecutivesThe first time I made a presentation to an executive team, I quickly realized it welchesnt business as usual. There was a different energy in the room. It was intense, efficient, and expectant. No one had to tell me there was no time to waste it was obvious. I knew it was an important opportunity, but at the time, I didnt realize how unprepared I was for it. Thankfully, it went well- but I realized that working with executives isnt exactly your typical meeting. As you grow in your career and are offered mora opportunities, youll likely have the chance to interact with those higher-ups, too. When you do, youll notice that they operate a bit differently. They read situations more quickly, get to the meanings behind the message, and have an uncanny ability to decipher numbers and recall information in a remarkable way. So if you want to be upwardly mobile (read get promoted), youll need to understand how to b e seen and heard by those senior-level managers most effectively. Start with these six tips for communicating with executives so you can start preparing for that higher-level interaction. 1. They Fly at a Different AltitudeTo have the most meaningful conversations, you have to understand your audience. Executives see across the whole organization (or industry) and connect the dots from top to bottom. So to connect most effectively with them, you need to understand how your subject of conversation fits into their worldview. To practice this, take a complex customer youre working with and practice presenting an update on your work with them. Youre deeply involved in the day-to-day detail of what the customer needs, if the shipment went out on time or a day late, and the challenging personalities of the client. But when youre speaking to an executive, you shouldnt focus on the day-to-day tribulations of account management. Instead, youll want to talk about the total revenue they genera te, the margin contribution, and your strategy to grow their business. Ask yourself, What does the CEO want to know about this account? and develop your werkstoff from there. 2. They Get to the PointSenior-level managers know how to quickly dive into an agenda item, dissect it, and ask scathingly good, on-point questions to evaluate it. And so, they may not need you to ramp up to the point of conversation by giving them all the background data youve prepared. Theyll drive the presentation if they have questions or need more background information, theyll ask. Have your agenda prepared, of course, but be ready to flex the conversation accordingly. On that note, anticipate the questions they might ask and prepare responses. One of the biggest gaffes I see in executive conversations is failing to answer questions adequately. If youre not sure what they want, ask clarifying questions (e.g. So what you want to know is how I plan to fund the project?) so you dont waste time providing the wrong information.3. They Want to Know You Believe in What Youre SayingConviction about what you say to an executive is just as important as the message itself. I was halfway through my first real executive meeting when I realized it was only partly about my proposal- and a lot about how I owned my proposal. The senior-level team wanted to know I had a proposal I would go to the wall for. Because if theyre going to go out on a limb to back it, they want to be sure Im not going to fold. I had one manager who struggled with this. Wed send him in to an executive meeting with program proposals and this caveat Whatever you do, dont blink. One time, he blinked. And it took us months to recover from the fallout of not getting the approvals we needed. To make an impact on executives, you must truly believe in what you are saying and have conviction that its the right solution for the organization.4. If Theres a Flaw in Your Logic, Numbers, or Content, They Will Find ItAnd they will point it out to you.When youre working with numbers- and you will always be working with numbers when executives are involved- know your data and logic inside and out. While youre preparing, have someone with content expertise review, poke, prod, and test your content- and you- ahead of time. This will help get you ready to dig deeper than whats on each PowerPoint slide. Dont risk destroying your credibility with bad numbers, or worse, guessing. If you arent sure about a number or an answer to a question, say youll look into it and come back.5. They Can Smell BS a Mile AwayIf you think about everything that executives are responsible for (like running an entire company), you can imagine that they have finely honed sensors that allow them to work quickly and focus only on whats most important. And they cant possibly do that by letting others waste their time with nonsensical issues or jargon like paradigm shifts, open kimonos, and eating your own dog food. So, dont do it. And if you choose t o do it, dont say I didnt warn you.6. Theyre Impatient, and They May Be Abrupt- Dont Expect a Group Hug When You LeaveIf youre presenting something, dont expect flowery kudos and high fives when youre done. Theyll be moving on to their next agenda item while youre gathering up your stuff. This doesnt mean they hated your ideas, though. Remember that efficient atmosphere I talked about earlier They have a lot going on and a lot on their shoulders. Your victory dance will come when you get to implement the proposal theyve accepted.(And when it happens, dance away. You deserve it.)Freaked out? Dont be. You can do this. Its a matter of developing the mindset and doing the footwork. (Another great tip? Executives have assistants who know exactly how to work best with them. Ask one for some insight on how that executive works, and what he expects to see in presentations.) The more prepared you are, the more confident youll be. And, itll make you better at everything else you do.

Are You Coming Across Well to Your Colleagues

Are You Coming Across Well to Yur Colleagues Are You Coming Across Well to Your Colleagues Dont be that guyWeve all said it before perhaps even at the office water cooler whentalking about the clueless boorishness of some scandal-plagued celebrity of the day, or maybe someone closer to home, like Lloyd in marketing.Andsometimes, we get that haunting feeling that maybe, just maybe, wearethat guy in some peoples eyes.How do I come across to my teammates? Our clients or customers? Our third-party vendors?This are all probably questions youve asked yourself at least once.Now, suppose we found out the cold, hard truth. Is there any way we can use that knowledge to improve our work relationships? Can weprofit from a clearer understanding of how our colleagues see us?PI Midlantic senior consultant Melanie Wood would answer, Yes. Her firm coaches business leaders on how to more effectively leverage their human resources by using, among other tools, the Predictive Index, which the company describes as an objective assessment based on certain fundamental assumptions of behavioral psychology.Recalling the dismay of a client of hers who having taken the Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment realized that she may be coming across to coworkers in a negative light, Wood explained in a March 22 article that, in fact, finding ways to tap into the way you are truly perceived by others can be an invaluable growth opportunity, notlage to mention a powerful engagement tactic when you involve your team.Assess YourselfTo make the most of this growth opportunity, you should start by honestly assessing yourself, Wood advisesHow do you deliver messages? Can you be abrupt and direct? Are you overly verbose? Do you provide clarity, or are you vague, expecting others to fill in the blanks? Do you talk with your team or at your team? Do you criticize/point out issues privately or publicly? Do you acknowledge the good things your team members do, even if it is well within the scope of what is expected? If you do acknowledge them, is it via email or face-to-face?How Do You and Your Colleagues Differ From One Another?Secondly, you should assess the differences between you and your team members and colleagues.Were so comfortable with who we are we have no concept of how we come across to others, Wood explains in a phone conversation, noting, for example, how misunderstandings can crop up in a work environment where a manager or team member who is naturally blunt communicates with a more indirect or diplomatic individual.Empathetic team members want to collaborate, not to be told what to do, Wood says.These team members dont want to be seen as pawns in the game, but rather as players on the same team.At the same time, more direct, task-oriented personalities usually see bluntness as a sign of respect for the other persons valuable time as a fellow team member.The key is in adjusting your approach in a way that respects your differences.Dont change who you are, just change the way you talk to your colleagues to have a more successful workplace environment, Woodsays.Gather FeedbackThirdly, Wood counsels that you must gather insight and perspectives from peers and team membersReach out to team members and/or friends and family and have an honest conversation about your style. Explain that your ultimate goal is to more thoroughly understand how your style is perceived and ways in which you can develop as a person and team member. Do not rely only on those with whom you connect or whom you know well. Sometimes, those people we do not fully understand can provide the most perspective.You shouldnt expect everyone to think or communicate like you, nor should you stifle your personality or your natural approach to problem solving.Assess, Assess, AssessIts all aboutrespect, honest communication, and ongoing evaluation, which leads to Woods fourth and final point You really need to take a month or so to continually assess how youre doing before gathering together your team to reassess your progress.While the Predictive Indexs categories can be particularlyhelpful, Woods advice is invaluable regardless. Personality dynamics in any office environment will have a tremendous impact on corporate culture, productivity, and ultimately, your brands perception. The sooner you break the ice and dive into the differences in how you and your colleagues communicate, the sooner you can appreciate and be effective alongside them.Clayton Ramsey isclient service manager at PI Midlantic.

How to Sound and Look Professional in a Phone or Video Interview

How to Sound and Look Professional in a Phone or Video Interview How to Sound and Look Professional in a Phone or Video Interview Job einstellungsgesprchs are stressful and only made worse when technology enters the mix. You want to present yourself as professional, knowledgeable, and poised, but thats easier said than done while battling a noisy environment, spotty wi-fi, or malfunctioning headphones. Technological failures and poor planning are enough to ruin a good candidates chances of landing the job.Phone and video interviews are typically used to screen candidates before bringing them in for an in-person interview.A technical recruiter told Jobscan, If someone cant really hold a conversation on the phone, theyre probably not going to move forward in the interview process.You should be focused on being engaging and showing off your qualifications. Heres how to make aya technology doesnt get in the way of a successful phone or video interview.How to Prepare for a Phone Interview Its simple, but the most important thing you can do prior to a phone interview is to make sure your phone battery is sufficiently charged, you have strong reception, and your volume is working properly.Next, decide ahead of time on a quiet space with minimal echo where you can take the interview. While it might be tempting, do not take a phone interview in your car while driving or while walking around outside. Outside noises can be distracting and will seem unprofessional and rude to the recruiter or hiring manager.Jobscan Marketing Manager, Christina Everett, remembers interviewing a candidate who whispered throughout the entire interview as not to disturb others in her current distributionspolitik of employment.If you have to take an interview during the work day and are currently employed, consider renting a time slot at a coworking space or scoping out a quiet coffee shop or private room in a public library.Since youll be using your phone during the interview, be sure to have w ritten notes or a laptop, iPad, or second device on which you can pull up company information and reference the research and questions youve prepared ahead of time (which you should do, by the way). The sound of typing on your phone while talking can be distracting and unprofessional to the recruiter. Besides, youll feel more prepared having everything you need readily available.How to Prepare for a Video InterviewFirst, make sure you have a laptop or desktop with which to take the video interview. Even though you might have used it a thousand times, take a few minutes prior to the interview to make sure the video and audio functionality is working properly.Just like when preparing for a phone interview, you should scope out a professional space for your video interview ahead of time. The space that you choose should be quiet, have excellent internet connection, and a tidy background. If you have pets or children, be sure they are taken care of and as quiet as possible.I had a candi date once interview in what welches obviously his basement. There were towels hanging over a door behind him, he was blurry over camera and didnt look prepared, said Everett.Avoid awkward video interview experiences by turning on your camera pre-interview to get a good look at the lighting, background, and camera angle. As a general rule, dont show off your bed, messy sheets, or inappropriate posters. Prop your camera up so it is level with your face or pointed downward toward your face. A flattering angle will make you feel more confident and prevent fidgeting mid-interview.When taking an interview over video, you should make sure your appearance is not distracting by dressing professionally and making sure your hair and overall appearance is in order, just as you would for an interview in person. Furthermore, just like an in-person interview, always be prepared with knowledge of the company, job position, and pre-written questions.Is a video interview just not practical for you? E verett urges job seekers to feel comfortable requesting an alternative interview style if you dont have the space or freedom during the workday to set up a professional video interview.While phone and video interviews may feel informal, recruiters and hiring managers take them seriously. You should too. All interviews act as a first impression of your professional self to the company, regardless of format. Take the time to prepare for your phone or video interview with the same dedication you would any interview.

Oops, I dont really want to resign Oops, I dont really want to resignPosted October 13, 2011, by Louisa Veidelis Youve made up your mind. Youve handed in your resignation letter and have even started cleaning out your junk drawer. But then your situation changes. Perhaps the new job fell through. Perhaps a last minute counter offer was too good to resist. Perhaps personal circumstances require you to stay a bit longer. Retracting your resignation may seem like the fruchtwein difficult thing in the world, but if its the right thing for you and the company, then its definitely best to just grit your teeth and bear the embarrassment. Deal with this awkward situation with a professional and dignified manner and within a week it will be out of peoples minds. Talk about it The first step is to explain your decision to the HR manager. Be honest, say what needs to be said (and no more) and, most importantly, be professional.

This might be a good time to suggest ways your employer could help you develop your skills in your current role, or to scope the possibility of a job change within the company. Ill take the money If you decided to stay because of an impressive counter offer that is, your existing employer offered a better salary package than the potential new one, the skills you bring to the company are obviously valued and this too may be a good time to discuss your expectations for career development.
