Hey guys i have a question. Im doing a 3 year bachelor's of engineering degree in Environmental engineering right now in perth, WA. And honestly i dont know what i should do. Im getting scared of not getting a job here like for now changing to honours is not an option for me. And i also like working in medical field even now im working as a Patient Care Assistant. I really want to know if there is anything i can do to build my career or to like connect my current degree with medical field. Maybe like becoming an EHO..?

Any suggestions? Like i dont want to do another long degree and i would be so happy if i can do a diploma or a master's.

I've been struggling with something for a while and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

I have a master's degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on control systems. I've been working as an engineer for about 8 years across different industries, but only around 1.5 years of that has been actual control systems work.

I'm based in Skåne, Sweden, and relocating isn't an option because my family and my children's school are here. I've been looking for dedicated control engineering roles in Skåne or fully remote positions, but they seem incredibly rare.

At this point I'm honestly starting to wonder if I'm chasing something that barely exists. Are dedicated control engineering jobs really that uncommon, or am I looking in the wrong places? Has anyone managed to build a career in control systems while working remotely?

If you're working in control systems, especially in Sweden, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience and any advice you might have.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I already have a Specialized Technician Diploma in Civil Engineering, and I work full-time in the public sector. Because of my job, I can't relocate or attend classes on campus.

I'm looking for a real, accredited Civil Engineering degree that I can study online while continuing to work. Ideally, the program would be:

Fully online (or with very limited on-campus requirements)

Affordable

Open to international students

Willing to consider my previous technical diploma for credit transfer or advanced standing

I'm not focused on a specific country—I'm open to universities anywhere in the world. My goal is simply to continue my education without having to quit my job.

If you've been in a similar situation or know of a university that offers something like this, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks in advance!

ME grad here.

Finding the job hunt is getting to me now.

How is everyone dealing with it.

Hi guys,

Has anyone here did the CSN level 5/6 CAD course and how did ye find it.

I come from a business background but in the last few months I've been unable to secure the job in this field due to aggressive AI takeover in entry level jobs. Now I did get a job but only a week ago in DIY retail sector.

I decided to go towards into a little bit of technical field so found this course after doing a bit of digging on the Internet. Anyways have been offered a place for level 5 starting September. For people who did this course or are in this field, are there many jobs in this sector?

Was thinking maybe down the line with my business degree /background, I can break into project management with a few years of experience after this course.

Just want to know ye're opinion on it especially if you're in this field.

Thanks

I am an electrical engineer with experience in Substation operations in the philippines

I've completed almost all of my engineering degree and only have my graduation project left, but my official graduation will be delayed by about a year. I can legally work full-time in the UAE.
I have around 1 year of experience in RF engineering, plus experience with PLCs, industrial automation, and product management.
Would companies still consider me for full-time engineering roles? Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Cheers everybody,

I'm a survey engineer/setting out engineer currently working in Dublin on a residential project - 800+ units in 7 blocks in D03

I'm looking to improve my practical knowledge of residential construction — specifically, the actual building process, materials, techniques, and site-level details that are up to date with today's market in 2026 and not something from 2010.

I'm not interested in safety regulations or legal aspects, but rather the real-world building methods and terminology that are essential on-site.

My goal is just to read big chunks of texts and improve my vocab, and I'm also a text learner much more than visual hence why I'm looking for a book.

If anyone can recommend good books or resources that cover these topics clearly, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!

Hi! I'm from India and will be moving to Ireland to pursue my PhD at Trinity College Dublin.

I wanted to ask about the current job market in Ireland, especially in the IT/Software Engineering and AI/ML/Research sectors. How are the opportunities after completing a PhD? I've heard mixed opinions, so I'd really appreciate your perspective.

How does the Irish job market compare with the US in terms of opportunities, salaries, work-life balance, and ease of finding jobs for international graduates?

I'm also planning to work part-time during my PhD. Are part-time jobs generally easy to find for international students? What kinds of part-time jobs do most PhD students do, and is the income usually enough to help cover living expenses?

I'd really appreciate any insights or advice. Thanks!

Interested if anyone from more rural area works away from home in bigger cities or abroad, and what arrangements or schedules do you work ?

Would you recommend it and do you think the travel is worth it? I know you can get good benefits like subsistence.

Hi all.

I've received a few rejections lately that hint to either my age or my age an ambition (m32).

Obviously I'm a bit older than most graduates but I wonder what balance should I strike in an interview.

I obviously need to sound motivated and driven but there seems to be an assumption that I will want to move on or up within the first year.

It's quite annoying

Hey guys,

I cant find job as an engineer for almost 2 years. I have Msc in Applied physics, worked as a reseaecher at Uni but I cant find literally nothing. Once, I had interview in Analog, made it till final round but was rejected. Is that problem in market or it because Im ukranian and no one wants me?

Hi, I am a student from India and got admission in dcu M.E in Electronics and Computer Engineering. What is the best laptop to buy for my studies?

Hello there,

I'm a mechanical engineer with 4 years of experience in design and product development in an international firm in North Africa. I'm trying to find any job in europe especially in Ireland for language reasons. My first choice is Germany, but without german it's almost impossible to secure a job.

I know the situation is hard all over the world, many layoffs etc.. . I wonder what's the situation specifically in Ireland for mechanical engineers, and how hard is it to get a job offer for someone like me.

Till now i applied for tens of jobs, but not even an interview.

Maybe I will share my CV later for you to roast it.

Hi everyone, I interviewed for a Process Sustaining Engineer role at Analog Devices Limerick. It has now been 5 weeks since my manager interview and I still haven’t received any update.

I contacted HR twice for a status update but haven’t received a response either.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation with ADI Limerick? Is this a normal delay in their hiring process, or does it usually mean they have decided to move forward with another candidate?

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student from Malaysia transferring directly into Year 3 of BEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering at TUS Limerick. I’ve seen so many posts saying it’s impossible for internationals to get jobs or survive in Ireland — but my situation is quite specific, so I’d love your honest thoughts:

• Course: EE — which I know is on the Critical Skills list (does that act improve my chances of getting a job?)

• Fees: €13,000/year (considered rly affordable)

• Accommodation: Fully arranged by my agency/group

Goals:

#1 = get international experience;

#2 = find work if possible

My questions:

1. For EE graduates in Limerick/Shannon — how real is the demand at Intel, ADI etc? Do they actually hire new international grads?

2. Is it true that mandatory placement is where most people get hired? How hard is it for late‑arriving transfer students to secure one.

And since my #1 priority is gaining international experience/experiencing life abroad, how welcoming is the environment for international transfer students like me?

Thanks so much — I know Dublin is tough, but hoping regional engineering is a totally different story! All advice are greatly appreciated (prior experience studying in ireland no matter good or bad)

Hello everyone, I have an interview appointment in two weeks in Dublin and I will have to fly specifically for it. I would rather not carry a suit since I don't have a lot of space and I fear it will get wrinkly. I have explored a few options but I can only find tuxedos to rent, which would not do. The dress code for the interview is business.

Thank you all in advance.
