Engineering is now one of the most demanding jobs. Though there might be several
engineering fields that can be selected, however maximum organizations look for same
qualifications and requirements in candidates. Completing an Engineering course and getting
bachelor’s degree might look like a huge achievement. However, it is only halfway in
becoming an engineer which means there are few steps that should be followed for getting

highly skilled candidates. Recruiters could be quite picky and look to choose best candidate.
Engineers must possess several skills which recruiters look for while hiring engineers,
especially who have no work experience.
Communication is really essential for both work life and personal life. Several
engineering jobs can be exceptionally information-heavy which means engineers should have
the capability of handling multiple communication modes, both non-technical and technical,
in person and online, verbal and written. Good skills of communication are required for team
work like project meetings, problem solving, brainstorming and product design. The

look for technical skills which is job specific, which is where the technical training and past
working experience come to forefront. Thus, having good technical skills is more important
than having soft skills. Hiring managers and recruiters also see if the candidate is willing and
pursue extra additional training, and have up-to-date knowledge regarding current trends, for
enhancing technical skills that are already possessed by the candidate. Possessing high
technical skills reveals that the candidate possess the ability of identifying and solving
technical problems.
Possessing interpersonal skills is also as essential component for having success in
workplace. It’s quite rare these days that job does not require cooperative work. Improving
the interpersonal skills will help to become an effective group or team leader which enables
