Successfully Managing your Engineering Career
As an engineer, have you ever thought you should be getting paid more for what you know
and do? Do you feel like you should be making more headway with your career than you
have? Perhaps you feel your career has plateaued? Maybe you've wondered how others
seem to make greater and quicker progress. Alternatively, have you wanted to get organised
and get on for a while now, but just never seen to have enough time (or motivation, if you're
honest)?
Do any of these points resonate in some way with you? OK, well don't you owe it to yourself
to be proactive and take control of your own career? This powerful, targeted guide enables

teresting, most rewarding and the best paid job you can - either at your current place or else-
where. Position yourself to take the next opportunity you get to advance your career.
