Since our meeting in Norway we have organized “Career Days” during which we got some information about the different jobs we can have in the future.
We had a Quality Control Engineer, Carla Barbosa, and a former student, Silvia Santos, who talked about the skills, needed to be successful in that area of work and answered all the doubts we had.
We also had a Mechanic Engineer, Joel Dias, and a former student of the Automation and Maintenance Course, Tiago Dias, who underlined that a good job is the result of study and hard work and that we must be students during all our life if we don´t want others to replace us in our workplace. They also warned us that companies are looking for the best technicians and that we shouldn´t expect to get a high wage salary immediately after finishing school, but that we would only get it after years of hard work and experience.
Finally, we had a seminar with a former student, Lucinda Santos, a successful accountant who works for the Tax Office Services and who considered that to be successful we need to know everything about our area of work but also to try to learn something about the different jobs related with that area. She also warned us that there is no such thing as a job for life and that we have to continuously improve our skills and knowledge throughout our life.
