Audio Clip 01 :

It’s not enough to do your best; you’ve got to know what’s best for you and then do your best. This requires a profound understanding of your goals and the values that underpin them. Remember, no one can go back and change a bad beginning, but you can definitely start right now and shape a successful ending. It is never too late to take charge of your life and make positive changes. With determination and perseverance, the journey towards a better future can begin at any moment. Heated gold becomes a beautiful ornament; beaten copper turns into essential wires. Each material transforms through effort and perseverance, much like our own journeys in life. It is through these challenges that we are shaped into the individuals we aspire to be, turning our struggles into strengths. Changing the face can change nothing, but facing the change can change everything. Everything we encounter in life offers an opportunity for growth and transformation. Embracing challenges with an open mind shapes our character and paves the way for new possibilities and success. Always think positively; positive thinking, or an optimistic attitude, is the practice of focusing on the good in any given situation. Is your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you’re optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health. Do not compare your life to others; you have no idea what their journey is all about. Get rid of anything that is not useful, beautiful, or joyful. Overprepare, then go with the flow. Don’t wait for tomorrow; start today. Today is the perfect opportunity to take that first step toward your dreams, no matter how small. Embrace the challenges that come your way, for they are part of your unique path to growth and self-discovery.

Knowledge sharing is the ultimate form of learning. It allows individuals to benefit from each other’s experiences and insights, fostering a collaborative environment. By exchanging ideas and information, we not only enhance our understanding but also drive innovation and growth within our communities. Imagine if our forefathers kept their inventions, their secrets, their learning, their breakthroughs, or their education to themselves? The world as we know it would be vastly different, stifled by a lack of progress and innovation. It is through the sharing of knowledge and ideas that we have been able to build upon their foundations and create a brighter future for generations to come.

આપણી પાસે જે કંઇ-પણ જ્ઞાન છે એ જરૂર કોઈ વ્યક્તિ અથવા અન્ય કોઈ માધ્યમથી જ આપણા સુધી પહોચ્યું છે. તમે જે જાણો છો, તમારી પાસે જે  જ્ઞાન છે એ બીજાઓ સુધી પહોંચાડો. વિચારો, જો આપણા પૂર્વજોએ/ વડવાઓએ તેમની અમૂલ્ય  શોધો, તેમનું શિક્ષણ, તેમનું જ્ઞાન, તેમની ભૂલો અને સફળતાઓના રહસ્યો ફક્ત તેમના પૂરતા જ સીમિત રાખ્યા હોત તો ? જ્ઞાન અને વિચારોના આદાન-પ્રદાન દ્વારા જ આપણે આવનારી પેઢીઓ માટે ઉજ્જવળ ભવિષ્ય બનાવી શકીશું.

નોકરીદાતાઓને તમારી બધી યોગ્યતાઓ અને તમારી કુશળતા દર્શાવવામાં શરમાશો નહીં.

Don’t be shy to demonstrate all your qualifications and your expertise to employers. You never get a second chance to make a first impression, and an incomplete profile or CV will leave a poor impression on the employer.

Setting the basics right solves a lot of confusion that might arise later. Whether it is choosing the correct job and mapping career goals, the right start at the right time makes all the difference.

(૪) જ્યાં સુધી તમને નોકરી ન મળે ત્યાં સુધી આ કામ માટે નિયમિતપણે પૂરતો સમય આપો. સખત પરિશ્રમ વિના સફળતા કે સિદ્ધિ પ્રાપ્ત થતી નથી. દુનિયાના ઘણા દેશોમાં હજારો નોકરીઓ વિશેની માહિતી મેળવવા માટે આ પેજના અંતે આપેલ “ Jobs around the world” વિભાગ જુઓ.

અનુભવે એ જાણવા મળ્યું છે કે Saudi Aramco જેવી ખુબ મોટી વિશ્વ કક્ષાની કંપની પણ ઘણીવાર કર્મચારીઓની પસંદગી માટે ઇન્ટરવ્યુનું કામ ખાનગી એજન્સીઓને સોંપે છે. જયારે બીજી કેટલીક મોટી કંપનીઓ કર્મચારીઓની પસંદગી અને ભરતીનું બધું કામ જાતે કંપનીના કર્મચારીઓની મદદથી કરતી હોય છે. આ બધુ જણાવવા પાછળનો મારો હેતુ જોબ શોધવાની પ્રક્રિયાની દરેક તબક્કાની નાનામાં નાની માહિતી પૂરી પાડી જરૂરી માર્ગદર્શન આપવાનો છે જેથી વાંચનારની મૂંઝવણ ટાળી શકાય અને આત્મવિશ્વાસ વધે.

વધુ મહત્વનું શું છે – તમારી CV કે LinkedIn પ્રોફાઈલ?
જો તમે LinkedIn નો ઉપયોગ કરીને અરજી કરી રહ્યા છો, તો ભરતી કરનાર પ્રથમ તમારી LinkedIn પ્રોફાઇલને જોશે. વૈકલ્પિક રીતે, તમારા ભરતી કરનાર તમને LinkedIn પર શોધી શકે છે કારણ કે તમે તેમના પદ માટેના માપદંડ સાથે મેળ ખાઓ છો. જો તમને ભરતી માટેની વેબસાઇટ દ્વારા CV સબમિટ કરવાની વિનંતી કરવામાં આવે, તો તમારા ભરતીકર્તા પહેલા તમારો CV જોશે. LinkedIn પ્રોફાઇલ અને CV બંને મહત્વપૂર્ણ છે. માત્ર એટલો જ તફાવત છે કે LinkedIn પ્રોફાઇલમાં આપેલી માહિતી અન્ય લોકો દ્વારા સમર્થન અને ભલામણો દ્વારા ચકાસી શકાય છે.

વધુ માર્ગદર્શન માટે, ટંકારીયા મૂળના એન્જિનિયરો અને આઇટી પ્રોફેશનલ્સ TANKARIA ENGINEERS/IT વોટ્સઅપ ગ્રુપમાં જોડાઇ શકે છે. તમે મારી સાથે મારા વ્યાવસાયિક નેટવર્ક LinkedIn પર પણ જોડાઇ શકો છો (લીંક ઉપર આપેલ છે). ગ્રુપમાં ઘણી અગત્યની માહિતી અવારનવાર મુકવામાં આવે છે. ટંકારીઆ ગામના કેટલાક ઈજનેરોને બાંધકામને લગતા પુસ્તકો, વીડિયો, અને સહાયક દસ્તાવેજો મેં આપ્યા હતા એનાથી તેઓને ઘણો ફાયદો થયો છે એવું મને જણાવવામાં આવ્યું છે. ટંકારીઆ ગામના ઈજનેરોને કોઈ પણ પ્રકારનું માર્ગદર્શન આપવામાં મને આનંદ થશે. રસ ધરાવતા ઈજનેરો કોઈ પણ ખચકાટ વિના મારો સંપર્ક કરી શકે છે.

In this latest revision we will focus on information related to employment.
Where do you start?
(1) Considering the current trend in the job market, most companies and agencies are giving a lot of importance to LinkedIn profiles and CVs. Take enough time to update your LinkedIn profile and CV very carefully. Provide complete information in your LinkedIn profile; do not leave any section. Leaving any section incomplete may give potential employers the impression that you are not fully invested in your professional branding. Ensure your skills, experiences, and achievements are clearly articulated to make a strong impression. The employer has no idea how much we are capable of doing any job. The employer receives a huge number of applications. It is our job to prove to the employer that we are more capable than all the other applicants in the first oral interview of about 10 to 30 minutes. To achieve this, prepare thoroughly by researching the company and understanding its values, as well as practising your responses to common interview questions. Tailor your answers to highlight how your unique skills and experiences align with the company’s needs, ensuring you present yourself as the ideal candidate for the role. First, prepare yourself properly to prove your abilities, then prove to the employer without any embarrassment why you are a better candidate than other candidates by explaining in detail everything you know.

Very large, world-class companies like Saudi Aramco often entrust the task of arranging interviews for the selection of employees to private agencies. While some other big companies do all the work of selection and recruitment of employees themselves with the help of the employees of the company. My purpose behind saying all this is to provide the necessary guidance by providing the smallest details of each stage of the job search process so as to avoid the confusion of the reader and increase confidence.

What is more important—your CV or LinkedIn profile?

If you are applying using LinkedIn, the recruiter will look first at your LinkedIn profile. Alternatively, your recruiter may find you on LinkedIn because you match their criteria for the position. If you are requested to submit a CV through the recruitment website, your recruiter will view your CV first. LinkedIn profiles and CVs are both important. The only difference is that the provided information in the LinkedIn profile can be verified through the endorsements and recommendations by others.

For further guidance, engineers and IT professionals of Tankaria origin can join the TANKARIA ENGINEERS / IT WhatsApp group. You can also join me on my business network, LinkedIn (link provided above). A lot of important information is often placed in the group. I have been told that the engineers from Tankaria village have benefitted greatly from the books, videos, and supporting documents that I have provided. I would be happy to give any kind of guidance to the engineers of Tankaria village. Interested engineers can contact me without any hesitation.

Job searching

Letter-writing skills are essential for job searching. An excellent cover letter and a thank-you letter often make a difference in whether or not you are considered for a position. In addition to the main course, sometimes a few short-term courses play a major role in our careers. In addition to engineering courses, I joined the “Technical Report Writing” course. It was very helpful. The most critical question to ask oneself is, Do I have a passion for this field of work? If the answer is yes, then the job becomes your passion and can be developed further into a hobby. With this attitude, your work becomes a passion and a hobby. This is the ultimate successful job searching path to pursue.

Unemployed graduates must change their mindset. From my experience, every employer is hungry to hire multitasking employees as well as good learners. If you are searching for experience, please aren’t concerned about your salary. A good salary and a good position will come if we can prove to our employer that we are good in all aspects. So, please change your orthodox mindset.

Some items to take note of during job hunting: know the company’s location, the job requirements, and responsibilities. Besides, survey the company; learn its history, industry, products, and stability to avoid joining a company where you will be unhappy later. Information from friends and company websites will help us make better judgements and decisions before we apply.

Do not judge a job by the pay and do not ever expect very high pay. If you are offered a job even though the pay is low, do it first to gain experience. Never put all your eggs in one basket. Always apply for a few jobs and not rely on just one. However, do not apply for too many either until you cannot keep track of or take control of the applications.

Essential Skills and Personal Qualities:

Effective communication, teamwork skills, problem-solving/creativity, diversity sensitivity, interpersonal abilities, computer and technical literacy, leadership and management, planning, and organising.

Resume (CV)
Nowadays, many employers are seeking people who have the experience to work with their companies. So in your resume, please state clearly your job experiences. Do not feel shy to write about your experiences, even if they are only a few months old. Always remember that real working experiences are worth much more than your academic transcript. The tip is to focus on several relevant strengths for the job you are applying for and keep them concise. Remember, quality is better than quantity. Check for spelling accuracy. Be consistent with the layout throughout the entire resume. Have someone else read and comment on it before printing the final copy.

A resume is the first impression of you! A bad resume gives a bad impression. A good resume gives a good impression. Whenever you write a resume, keep your language simple and organised. A good resume must not have any typographical errors. Keep your resume to the point and stress the important facts and figures that relate to the job you are looking for. Include IT-savvy items such as the use of spreadsheet and word processing software and other technical software for the relevant post. One’s strength in the language(s) and courses attended must be included, besides the academic credentials.

We do not have to be seeking employment to write a resume. A resume reflects our career profile, experience, and skills that we acquire daily. Therefore, build and improve our resume as time goes by. At least when we are ready to look for a job opportunity, we already have an up-to-date resume to use.

Be precise with your job titles, roles, and responsibilities. Do not oversell yourself. Be short and straight to the point on your work achievements—bullet points are recommended. Always prepares a hard copy of your resume and other copies of useful documents. Many interviewers have your documents on their PC, but they prefer to glance through those documents during interviews to look for things that they wish to know more from you instead of reading on the PC monitor.

If you want to market yourself right, it begins with a well-draughted resume and honest details of what you have to offer. Resumes are like brochures of you. They have to stand out from the competition if you expect to be sold (recruited) to the best in the industry.

When mentioning achievements in a job, do not overdo it and try not to be arrogant.

Hints to make the CV
Include only necessary personal information. Include the total number of years of experience. Write job descriptions in easy-to-understand terms and as completely as space allows. Include your name and page number on each page of a multiple-page CV (except no number on the first page). If you want to use a better quality paper, consider a bond paper with rag content (available from most printers or paper supply stores). If you are sending your CV to potential employers electronically, e-mail it to a friend first to check that the layout remains as you intended it.

Tips to help you shorten a lengthy CV:

Eliminate all extra spaces between lines (except between job assignments). Use narrower margins. Keep job descriptions to 3-5 sentences (less for older positions). If your “length” problem is due to an extensive number of job assignments, leave the oldest positions off and type the following at the bottom of the last page of your CV: “Experience from (date) to (date) available upon request.” Then prepare a “complete” CV to furnish only to firms asking for it.

Does: Use A4 paper. Make your CV as legible as possible. Include both a permanent contact and present address, phone number, and e-mail address. You may be contacted through a permanent address or phone, even after you have moved from your present address. Include your job discipline(s) near your name at the top of page one of your CV and as a title to each assignment. Include a summary paragraph near the top of your CV. Be brief but be complete. Include pertinent education and training. List jobs in reverse chronological order.

Don’ts: Don’t include personal references or hobbies. Don’t include your National Insurance or social security number. Don’t use a “Job Objective.” Do not tell the firms what you want from them, whereas giving a summary” tells what you can do for them. Don’t exaggerate your experience. Don’t offer explanations for leaving prior employers. Don’t use your photograph. Don’t use abbreviations (except those that are acceptable in the engineering/technical fields, such as IBM, CAD, E/M, etc.). Make it scanner friendly! Many contract firms are utilising scanners to input CVs into their computer databases. Because of that, new guidelines are required that will enable firms to scan your CV. Here are a few recommendations that will make your CV “scanner ready”: Use white paper and black ink. Don’t underline words. Don’t use a script or other fancy typefaces. All letters should be of the same quality.

Use adequate margins (at least 1/2″ on all sides). Don’t handwrite anything on your CV. If using a dot matrix printer, utilise the best quality of type the printer provides (i.e., letter quality, dark copy, etc.). Avoid boxes or unusual configurations. NOTE: If you transmit your CV by using a FAX card on your personal computer, make sure you see what you transmit. The format of the received CV is often different than what you think you are transmitting. Try faxing to a friend or local fax number so you can physically see what everyone else sees!

Interview:
Get enough rest and attend interviews with a fresh mind. If you do not know the location of the interview/office, try to find out a day earlier so that you will not get lost or be late. “I am caught in a traffic jam” or “I am lost and don’t know the way” are not accepted. It will not impress the interviewer if you are lost, as this shows a lack of initiative on your part.

There is only one chance to make a good first impression. Always attend interviews dressed in complete office wear. No matter what position you are applying for, being presentable at an interview is still essential. Wear a long-sleeve shirt, as this shows the interviewer that you are comfortable with yourself. Although a jacket is not a necessity, make sure you look coordinated. Must be looking good, tidy, and also interesting. Before going into the room, look into the mirror to be sure that everything is in place.

The most important rule to remember is to switch off your handphone. Do not let it interrupt the interview session. Always greet the interviewer and be pleasant. Smile and have good eye contact, but do not stare. Make sure your handshake is firm. When interviewed, never put your hands on the interviewer’s table. Always smile. Look confident but do not be overconfident. Whatever happens, be cool and professional. Always be smart when you answer all questions. Show that you are self-motivated, willing to learn, and able to work independently. In multi-stage interviews, the most important is consistency. That is, the ability to perform well consistently in all stages rather than excelling in one stage while failing in another. Thus, remember to always maintain focus and, most importantly, be modest.

Always be positive and share only the good experiences of your past achievements and work experiences. Never complain about your previous employer but keep sharing the positive points of your past employers to build the trust of the interviewer. Try not to give yes and no answers. Be open to the interviewer’s questions. Never lie about yourself but explain yourself tactfully. If you make any blunder in the interview, be frank and polite enough to apologise. This ensures your honesty. A common question is, “Tell me about you.” There is no need to explain about your family, your previous school, and stuff like that. No need! Just tell the interviewer all of your specialities and abilities. Convince them to hire you with a high level of confidence. Show that you are interested in working with them.

I keep a very comprehensive, organised, and updated online portfolio. In every interview, I show them my work-related presentations. Once they see it, they will know immediately what you are capable of. Try it yourself. Prepare a copy of the documents of your work or projects. Present them during the interview and leave the interviewer a copy of some PDF files. By doing this, the interviewer may have a better image of you.

Always be honest and keep your self-value and respect, rather than saying the same things that others are saying. Always be humble and seek to know more. Know the background of the company. Make sure you do some research on the company before the interview. This gives a good impression. Never say how bad your ex-boss is. Find out more about the company. Check everything from their company growth, their mission and vision, and the job posting you are applying for. Always be early or punctual. This will reflect your punctuality for work. If you cannot be punctual for one day, how can you be punctual every day for work? Be sincere. Do not lie or talk nonsense. Your facial expression will tell. When you speak sincerely, you speak with confidence. Ask many questions. Show that you are interested in the job and the company.

The interviewer is more interested in a person’s capability and suitability for the job. Communication skills are important, but first impressions, track records in previous companies, skills, and competencies related to the job are also important. A job involving international work requires a person to be strong in the English language. The applicant should not detract from the original task of answering relevant questions from the interviewer. Keep personal matters to a minimum. Never bring newspapers or drinks to the interview session.

Keep your answers brief and to the point. Be a good listener. Do not talk at the same time as the interviewer. Always look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. This shows you are interested in the position and have confidence.

When answering a question, do not stutter, as it will show your future employer that you are not confident in yourself. But at the same time, do not answer overconfidently. Always be modest. You do not want your interviewer to think that you are stuck-up. When in an interview, NEVER cross your arms in front of you. It shows disrespect for the interviewer. Always put your hands down.

Speak clearly and not too fast during an interview so the interviewer can follow you well and the interview session runs smoothly. Always think positively during the interview. If you lack a particular skill or do not know a certain computer program, remember to emphasise how quickly you can learn. Give a period when you will be able to get up to speed in a similar situation. Companies are interested in candidates who are aggressive and willing to learn.

Many jobs require you to learn after you get the job. Rare is the case that you can do the job well without learning. Thus, do not act smart like you know everything about the job. Show your attitude that you are always ready to learn, improve, and have an interest in the things you are going to face. Companies look for talent who can improve instead of a genius who rejects learning. After the interview, send a thank-you card to the interviewer to let him/her have a good impression of you.

Salary Negotiations:
Research your experience and position. Familiarise yourself with the relevant salary range. Determine the salary range that you want to negotiate and be firm about the lowest you want to accept. Consider other additional allowances while negotiating. For contractual positions, know exactly what the package offered is. If there is no medical benefit, ensure the salary offered is at least 10 percent extra.

When negotiating for that dream wage, consider these points: Can you commit to the extra responsibilities that come with the higher salary you are asking? Is it within the acceptable salary range for the job? Is the company prepared to meet your demand? Don’t be greedy. Negotiation should be a win-win for both you and the company!

To negotiate a better compensation package, you have to sell yourself as the best possible candidate and then demonstrate why your qualifications justify a higher salary. First, sell yourself. Describe the unique skills you bring that those other candidates cannot offer and demonstrate how these skills add value to the company. Position yourself as having a skill set superior to other candidates in similar positions. Before negotiating salary, do some research to determine the appropriate salary for your position based on geographic location, position level, responsibilities, and skill set. Obtain information from several sources and compare the results to determine a range of acceptable salaries. Then bring this information and your unique skills to the table to justify a salary at the higher end of this range.

When you negotiate salary, the interviewer will normally ask how much you want. You should respond with confidence and logic, relating your request to your capabilities, qualifications, and experience. Some interviewers look at your salary range as your capability to work. Please be aware that the requested salary will be related to the stress that you will face once you are accepted for the job.

If the interviewer suggests a salary lower than what you reasonably expect, do not uprightly mention that it is very low and inadequate. Try to convince him/her about your great strengths and your ability to jump in and make some distinct improvements to the company. The requested salary should not be too much.

Remember that qualification does not necessarily equal salary. Salary is equal to skill sets and responsibilities.
