Job Searching - My Way!

                         Internships! During my MTech in structural Engineering, in third semester, we all were asked to do mandatory internships as per AICTE. I went to a Structural Consultant in Bangalore directly in person. As I hated sending resume via email and just wait for their reply (as many Freshers like this way as it is less cumbersome then visiting companies in-person). The Structural Consultant & head of the design consultancy allowed me to do Internship at his Consultancy. I use to leave my room for internship morning 8:30 am and return by 8:30 pm. & It was a unpaid one (I wasn't provided any stipend) also it was my second internship. I already had my first 3 months full Internship done. Was doing this one just to utilize my remaining few time as well as I was sure of getting good exposure here too. During My Internship at that Consultancy firm, many live Projects use to come. One Such proj...

As they say, on LinkedIn, everyone shares only success stories. So I have thought to share failure stories . These will be from my initial days of professional career. Without Filter. The Idea of starting such series is to motivate freshers specially (in general everyone) so that whenever they fail at anything, they should be getting back up! Because that's what actually matters. Happy sharing, reading and learning :-) Link to first post in the failure stories is given in first comment. ( https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mohdaatif_failurestories-interviews-learning-activity-6781431150331215872-1UG4 ) New post in the series to follow very soon. #failurestories #jobsearchingmyway #freshers #jobs #FailureStoriesWithAtif

  When you send resume in word format, it's formatting gets disturbed when it's opened in mobile device. As today, many hiring people ask or view Jobseekers resume in mobile device. You sending resume in word format and hiring person not able to view your resume in the manner which you wanted, is the last thing you would want to happen as a Jobseeker! #jobsearchingmyway #AtifInsights #resume #tips

  For Civil / Structural engineering fresher graduates. In the current job market or scenario, It is especially needed that one knows what are different job profiles (departments or Type of works) where one can find a job in the Civil Engineering field. The Various types of Job profiles are: 1. Site supervision. 2. Project Management. 3. Design 4.Architecture/Interior Design/3D modelling. 5. Quality control. 6. Drafting. 7. Estimation or Bill of Quantities. (There may be other departments/profiles too, I'll be updating as I remember.) Now all of these different types of job profiles/departments will be there in most of the Companies. It's not only that one must know these but also very important to know what are the works needed to be known in all these particular profiles. Having knowledge of a couple of above-mentioned job profiles will help you land a job. Briefly here, I'll be stating what all type of work is done in above mentioned profiles. 1. Site Sup...

 

 

Hey there!  I usually get lot of requests on how to choose project or thesis topic for academic project of B.E or Master’s. So thought it would be good if I share this one with everyone so that they can get benefitted by this and be in right direction after they complete their graduation or post-graduation.  Now you might be thinking why I’m talking about right professional career direction here in this blog where I said I will be sharing my views on how to choose a project topic?

A general trend is most of the people choose projects on CONCRETE. Simple reasons for that is Concrete projects are re...

Since I stay in Bangalore, I’ll be telling you what the culture here is for doing an internship. How to find them, where to find and the Procedure. It should be more or less the same for any other city as well. So, it was in the 2 nd  year of My Master’s (3 rd  sem) that required an internship to be done as a mandatory part of the course. So in the holidays of my 2 nd  sem, I started searching and gathering information about it. I made a list of Companies & consultancies that offer Internships to Structural Engineering students. And short-listed the best names to work in based on my knowledge of knowing a few good names in the field. I went in-person to those companies with my resume and possibly ready for an interview (if taken). So I went In-person to enquire about internships to companies (without any prior any Appointment). Few of the companies didn’t entertain it as they don’t allow directly meeting without a scheduled appointment. But few companies did. So t...
