really respect your decision to avoid pax. also your gut instincts against that robotic farming "start up" place was sth i wouldn't think of thoroughly myself. lots of well wishes from bangladesh!
@@nuzhatmaliat9258 can someone suggest a website or any platform where I can learn designing software like nx siemens or CATIA which has very good explanations.. from basic to advanced?
people dont even share thier Resumes with thier fellow mates in engineering cause they dont want you to have that extra edge and here this guy is showing his resumes and even sharing his interview experiences. Mashallah Allah bless you!
I hated when people tried to hide information like that when I was a student, so I try my best to not gatekeep and share everything to make up for it haha
Same thing had happened with me my friend in-fact the best one didn’t share anything related to job/placement whether it’s resume or any opportunity etc
@@AlanHernandez-tk3po hey bro, I’m looking to start too this year. Can you give me some advices? I’m so scared of the Maths and scared that I will fill. ❤
@@jonnymcgrath4816 I’m still like this lol, this is my first semester. All I can say is try your best man, it might seem like it’s the end of the world when you bump into a problem but you gotta keep moving forward 👍🏼
I give you credit for doing so many interviews and staying positive. It gets frustrating for me and a bit nerve wracking. Thanks for sharing your experiences as it makes mine no looks so bad 😂
yep I'm surprised people don't get burned out and give up. It's a lot easier to do interviews for jobs below "engineer" and pay almost as much if you work overtime (such as technician roles).
As a Mechanical engineer, communication is key. The ability to explain and convey the design and other technical information across the team is one of the best skills you could learn, as this will take you above the average engineers. Looks like you are very good at that. Keep going.
I study mechanical engineering and I didn't know interviews were that long and complicated (I mean it seams overwhelming)... it makes me a bit nervous to be honest. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@Mech.E It’s like they’re saying he probably “cheated” or has a fake “degree” in Mechanical Engineering. So lets test him after everything he went through just to see if he’s telling the truth 😅
So long as you really did learn and understand Engineering principles and not just memorize them, all you need is a bit of self-confidence and patience. Someone will give you a chance, just a matter of time.
Thank you for all the experiences and tips you share, they're extremely valuable for engineering students getting started in the industry. Before watching your videos I didn't really have any idea what to expect when looking for a job or how to approach this process really, but now I have a much better understanding of everything and feel much more comfortable and prepared for it. So please, keep up this great work you're doing, it's so important for many of us! I hope you had success in your job hunting process, you deserve it.
Thanks for being transparent and sharing a lot of details! I really enjoy these kind of videos as a fellow mech e in the Bay Area. Hope your job hunt went well.
Your dedication and resilience is inspiring. Dont give up! Im not an engineer but I find it actually appalling that you have to go through so many interviews. It should NOT take that much to determine if you want to hire someone.
My biggest piece of advice is to make a presentation of your work to give during an interview. It helps so much and it gives a good visualization of your work and projects you've worked on.
I really appreciate this video to see my weaknesses and needs for upcoming interviews. I’m a bit more nervous now, but at least I’ll be more prepared for these situations.
Said this before but saying it now again, you give amazing tips and a sense of comradery for a fellow 25 year old mechanical engineer like me. Im very glad to have found you on RU-vid, and I love watching your videos :)
Hey Tamer! Love the videos brother! Thanks for sharing these tips it will help a lot of us starting out, a lot. In the rolling ball problem, you actually have to take into account, the static friction (from the definition of rolling motion, the velocity of the contact point of the rolling object is zero, hence, the force of friction is proportional to the static coefficient of friction times the the weight of the ball). Keep up the great content! -Zsombor
Bro much credit to you and it just speaks to the caliber of your experience that you had so many interviews in such a short time span. I find that that’s the most difficult for me is tailoring my resume well enough to even get the interview. I’m also a fresh grad so only intern experiences 😢
May Allah increase u and grant u a job that will make you happy because of what you chose to do! May your action come as a witness if your good actions throughout ur life habibi
Have you ever applied for a job in Germany at VW or Audi or BMW. I come from Ingolstadt, where Audi is based. Myself live and study here. And i know that many jobs in the field of mechanical engineering are free like drive technology/ development because I work there as a working student.
Baden-Württemberg has set up a whole new program for recruiting all types of Engineer Disciplines. Then the German Government has also stepped in with recruiting efforts and making the whole process less cumbersome, at least according to Tagesschau reports. Do you have any other information about these joint industry /government initiatives? I hear that there is even a stipend plan to pay part or all of the costs for the Integration Program and learning the German Language through the B2 Certificate Process, while you are working at an Engineering position.
10:30 Most times when deceptively simple questions like that are asked, it's not so much about the answer, but about more behavioural aspects. For instance he might be looking to see if you pay attention to detail, take your time to understand a problem no matter how simple or to see your decision making process. In some instances if someone is proud or arrogant they may make a fuss immediately about how easy the question is or how their time is being wasted etc.. Or it could just be that they like you and want the interview to be a cake walk.
I have recently graduated and have been applying for jobs myself. I have had over 80 applications submitted and around 7 interviews thus far. Its rough, but your vids have been helping me through the process. I thought engineers would have been recession proof lol
hello friend, i am second year mech eng student. May i ask how you are able to land so many interviews? i’ve applied to around 150 and only gotten 3 interviews with no luck. Cheers
Im flabbergasted a profesional engineering company genuinely asked an intro physics question that has basically nothing to do with real world engineering
@@meltossmedia tamer has graduated and got the question wrong. I think a “thought process” question would be more suited, I would like to see how the new employee would talk through solving a real engineering problem
@@KaesOner This is a point that i have seen discussed many times and it's one of the reasons i changed from mechanical to software. i think a lot of engineering degrees need changing to suit the real world
You're a great person Tamer. You've really inspired me to change my attitude and strategy towards finding a job. Wish you all the best, and I'm excited to see what you'll be working on next!
Pretty interesting and informative video, I did not know they are that detailed on the interviewing front. You have pretty darn good videos and well put together, keep it up!
I would stay away from any industry operations that violate the Federal Laws, Rules and Regulations concerning Controlled Substance Act violations. Case in point was a proposal from the DEA to have someone set up another Cannabis Grow Operation for $1.5 million a year, subject to annual review and renewals for 5 years of operating the program. One of the major stipulations was that the entity never in the present or past had engaged in any work related activities that were in violation of any Federal CSA, even if authorized and licensed by a State Facility. Which also means you could never work on any government funded contracts in the future. Long story short, no one in the USA applied for getting the contract and even institutions of higher education refused, after being invited. So the University of Mississippi facility is all there is for a federal grow operation.
Bro job hunting is a full time job. I lost my mind after 6 months. Then I got a guy give me reference and he take me to his team as pega developer. I don't know what fuck was at the time. Now I am learning and work.
I recently graduated in EE from a Bay area college and started job hunting in the Bay area. The interview process is honestly too much, but they can get away with it since there's so many people that will deal with the interviewing process. Every company thinks they are as interesting as Google, Apple or Microsoft and thinks that it's ok to adopt their interviewing process as if they get millions of applications a day. It's not okay to have 3+ interviews over 3+ hours. That time should be compensated. Overall, I made the decision to leave the Bay for financial reasons as well as quality of life reasons. Money goes much further outside the Bay even though you get paid "less" (percentage wise it's usually the same based on cost of living). The interview was also much easier and more respectful of my time. 1 hour interview with a mix of technical and behavioral questions and shortly afterwards they made a decision to hire me. After doing tons of similar interviews I was over it.
Yeah I work at Lawrence Livermore National lab in the bay are and my interview process back in 2016 was a full 8 hour day! As a lead now I personally have cut it down to a 4 hour day although other departments still do all day. I think it’s ridiculous
I just had an interview today for Siemens and the recruiter told me that nowadays everybody has an engineering degree (I mean, every person she talk with). And suggested me that for high positions you need some extra certifications or in general, something more. The degree is just the starting point unfortunately. Then the fun - hard - begins. Come on guys, we are engineers, we can’t stop learning, never and ever
You have rolling friction for a roiling ball. You could have explained that you were not given enough info and told the interviewer why. Otherwise, either assume perfect surfaces and thus no rolling friction. Why else would a rolling ball slow down on a level surface?
Well done sticking to your principles and rejecting working in a company that contradicts them! من ترك شيئا لله عوضه الله بخير منه I am sure you will find the perfect job for you because you simply work hard and you deserve it ! PS: It's funny how you let others pronounce your name with a "magic e" sound like "bake" instead of a "broad a" sound like "half" , I work in a french company and I let everyone call me Dua (like Dua Lipa) because they find it hard to pronounce the "Ayin" and "Hamza" letters in Douaâ that actually means prayer in arabic 😂
Really appreciate your content man. I know your videos are for the most part instructive but it'd be very interesting to see a video on the social and dating side of an engineering student and graduate, especially from someone as career-driven as you are. I'm about to start my engineering undergrad and wanted to get an idea how the scenario is typically.
Job Hunting is hell. I feel this video. I've been going through the ringer for 8 months now. (For Software Engineering) We'll find something eventually.
Why do I feel like I’m not gonna be able to answer anything correctly in my first interview. I just got my degree and still feel like I don’t know that much. I did really well in FEA too. I didn’t even use it on my senior project. I hope they don’t expect too much from new graduates.
Its cause you don't know that much. Companies know this. Its new to you but you're hiring manager has been around the block and knows what to expect from each experience level. You're not fooling anyone. Just play it cool, don't act cocky, and act interested. You'll get the job
Hey man, one thing I noticed was your level of dress. I've pretty much always been told to wear a suit. I don't see why it would be different from a video interview. Maybe not necessarily a suit but at least dress pants and polo
Appreciate the tip, but engineering jobs in tech tend to be chill and don’t require you to dress formally at all. I understand that’s not the case in other industries. But, a hoodie or a T-shirt is actually quite normal here. You should’ve seen what some of my interviewers wear lool
I had 15 complicated interviews and a final call with the president of the company, all for the same job, all within 2 weeks, and STILL didn’t get the job. It’s cold out here.
Eyvallah Tamer, i was so proud when you said im uncomfortable to work with weed, because its against my religion. If you leave something for the sake of Allah, he will replace it with something better. Selam aleykum Brother
Engineers are generally introverts and a lot of your interviews require presentations. That's just sad. And the other sad part is they require so much time & effort out of you to do interviews which we all know is just bullsh*t for the most part. Even after you get the job, you're still being "interviewed" and watched for the first 60 days. These companies you've interviewed are not even brand name companies, small crappy looking ones too. Companies asking for too much, provide so little in return. Fyi, I'm a "hardware" engineer too in SV, CA. (hardware due to programmers wanting to be called software "engineer")
Strange to see this for me as an Dutch mechanical engineer, we have a big shortage of engineers in all fields especially mechanical. If you want here you can quit your job on Monday and start working at a new job on Tuesday.
Hey Tamer, You’re a huge inspiration. i’m currently second year in mech eng studying in canada with some internship experience. However in the coming future and after graduation, I am seeking to pursue the same path you did and to go work in california. Any tips or words of advice on how to do this? what paperwork and documentation do need? anything is appreicated
Hey Tamer thank you so much for this video it’s super helpful. I had a question about mechanical design engineering roles. I’ve been told that most of those roles usually don’t want new graduate engineers due to little experience building a product, so do you have any advice for me as a new graduate on how to land these types of roles ?
Dude you still got the physics problem wrong. Static friction is what keeps the rolling motion. The answer is just the maximum static frictional force which is just the normal force times the static coefficient. The point of contact between the ground and the ball is always at rest. There is no work being done by the static friction because of this, static friction never does any work, but kinetic friction does.
Can someone explain me to the physics problem? This is what I understand/remember from my high school class: static friction: the friction one has to overcome to make an object at rest start to move kinetic friction: the friction one has to overcome to keep an object moving along a surface. The problem states that the ball is "rolling" and that the initial velocity at t=0 is 5 m/s. It doesn't say if the ball is slipping or not, but I assumed it wasn't slipping. So if the ball isn't slipping and the ball is rolling, then don't we just use the kinetic coefficient of friction and that's it? Why is the answer zero and Tamar's initial answer wrong? Is it because the ball is slipping and so there's no friction?
Just a tip: Which may sound old school, but I would still "dress to impress" when you go into a interview and at least wear something nice (no hat) for zoom interviews. Good content and information here nevertheless.
you are missing the point in regards to asking specific textbook engineering questions: the whole point of asking you textbook technical questions is that the hiring manager wants to see your thought process and how you come to your answer. Most of them are fully aware that you will not get the answer correctly due to the pressure of the interview or many factors, thus they rather see how you would tackle the question. So in the end you can get the question completely wrong and still, satisfy the hiring manager cause you are methodically asking questions while you are solving the given problem. Also, they are not going to tell you off the bat what project you will be working on. Most of the managers will test you and see what your capability is like and assess what kind of puzzle piece you are. I would suggest these questions 1. what is your managing style? 2. what is the number one rule I should know about? 3. what is your expectation after 30, 60, and 90 days? I wish you luck in finding a new role in engineering, it is brutal and merciless industry.
Pet peeve for me when they just ask some random textbook question that has nothing to do with the work on the job. What's the point? If you want answers to those kinds of questions, why not hire some random person at minimum wage who can type into ChatGPT instead of an engineer? 🤦♂
Great vid, I have a 1hr interview with the hiring manager and a team of engineers for an entry level role. Don’t know what to expect but nervous man 😂😂😂
Yo Tameer, always wanted to ask you but why did you choose Waterloo University out of all schools offered in Ontario, let alone Canada, for engineering. I'm stuck between choosing Waterloo or other universities for the prestige and supposed co-op experience, but other unis near me like OttawaU are offering me much less (like 60% less) for the same electrical engineering degree. What pushed you to take Waterloo; was it worth it? Or does the University really matter at the end.
It was Waterloo’s co-op program and the connections they have. They have more connections to tech companies than any other universities which is what pushed me to choose them.
I get so annoyed with these physics gotcha questions. Whenever I get one of these questions. I make sure to ask them difficult but basics physics questions just to let them know who the king of the jungle is 😂. Oddly this actually gets me more job offers.
hi Tamer I am an Egyptian engineering student and we take a descriptive geometry class in engineering drawing and the material of this subject is very limited on the internet which is very strange i wonder if other engineering students take this class outside Egypt
Bro I never took this. In my career we focus on CAD only for drawings. I don’t think you need to rely too much on drawings, unless you are going to be a design engineer
@@Nicola.M7 In Egypt, you have to take a drawing class if you go to engineering school for any type of engineering(Mechanical, Aerospace, Materials and even computer) because they all share the first year.
Do you have 20/20 or 6/6 vision? I'm just curious to know because i think you have studied extremely hard to become a mechanical engineer so you had to sit for long hours on screens and books in an isolate type of conditions such as classrooms
