내부 특종
일상의 하루
- There IS no typical day for an engineer. There is always going to be something breaking, going wrong, ordered wrong, or refusing to fit. In all other careers, problems are obstacles to the job - but in engineering, problems ARE the job!
- Mornings may start off with personal time to respond to emails and conduct some project management. Organization and communication is critical in this field because much of the work is done in teams.
- The rest of the day may be spent collaborating on various assigned projects.
- Most of this work is done on a computer (using Excel for data analysis, Autocad for drawings, Access for database updating, etc),
- A third of the work day is spent out on the factory floor. Wearing jeans, steel-toed boots, and safety goggles, industrial engineers blend in with the machines as they study them and try to find solutions to either fix or improve them.
- Being flexible to colleagues’ work dynamics is important, as industrial engineers may be working with hundreds of other employees, both domestically and internationally
- An Industrial Engineer consultant has similar job responsibilities, except their duties require extra precaution in terms of organization and communication since they get the opportunity to work with different companies

일반적인 로드맵
첫 직장을 구하는 방법
- College summer/semester Internship: best chance of creating a network within a company, and also allows you to see if you like this field or should switch academic tracks
- Networking through/with your college or university
- LinkedIn: Prospective employers view your profile, so make sure it is updated and effectively reflects your skills and accomplishments. Make sure you check your messages regularly too.
- Online applications (type up your info, attach a PDF of your resumé, and send it off): problem is a lot of these websites are not updated, and a lot of applicants may be algorithmically discarded since a computer cannot determine if a human has the qualities necessary to fulfill that position… nevertheless this method helps to cast your net wide
- Old-school method, but it works: get in your car, drive up to the office with a copy of your resumé. Keep appearing at the office if that is what it takes. This is also the best way to see the work environment and what you’ll be doing, to determine if you really want to work at that location
- 인디드, 심플리 하이어드, 글래스도어, 지피아 등의 채용 포털에서 알림을 신청하세요.
- 또한 미국전문기술자협회, 엔지니어링잡스닷넷, IEEE 구인 사이트, 여성공학자협회, ASCE 커리어 커넥션, 히스패닉전문기술자협회, 미국엔지니어링기업협의회, C&EN잡스, ASHRAE 채용, 타우 베타 파이 엔지니어링 아너 소사이어티 등 여러 엔지니어링 전문 채용 게시판이 있습니다.
- Talk with your school career center for help with resumes, mock interviews, and job fair dates and locations
What it really takes to make it and succeed
- Passion for your job: it is very rare that someone enjoys every aspect of their duties, but enjoying some tasks is imperative. The little things keep you coming back. For an Industrial Engineer, this passion may be building databases and programming.
- Join associations: Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers
- Join the local chapter: helps you network, monthly industry talks, seminars, field trips.
- Knowledge is power: Attend seminars, webinars, and workshops to make sure you are up to date with what’s going on with the latest technologies and developments in the industry
- Be inquisitive: Who is leading the technology currently in the industry? What emerging technologies are there in the industry?

도서
플랜 B
- Industrial Engineers acquire very transferable skills
- They are exposed to programmes which allow them to do electrical design work, biomedical engineering, programming, and software development, among other fields
