- Finding a job is like trying to sell your mixtape. But by far the best way to get a job or an internship…especially for an engineering role is to reach out to recruiters, engineers, or hiring managers on LinkedIn. However, the process of reaching out to recruiters is a little different than reaching out to engineers, so I’ll share a step-by-step breakdown of how to contact each.

ABOUT ME:
My name is Tamer Shaheen and I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, currently working as a Mechanical Design Engineer. I like to make videos about university/college, engineering, and personal development. Thank you so much for watching!!
Tamer, you have no idea how much influence you have in here. I watched your video last night, texted a hiring manager this morning, and scheduled a 0.5 hr video call for next week!! I'd never done it before. I was always anxious to text people on LinkedIn, thinking who would take the time to talk with a stranger, blah blah but it worked. Now I am not thinking they are gonna offer me a job next week but who knows what's gonna happen?! Thank you and we appreciate your work and effort.
This makes me so happy to hear!! Good luck with your call and let’s hope it leads to an offer. Keep me updated on how it goes :)
Did you get the job
Did you get the job ?
Thank you, Tamer! Your topics are really interesting and they're helpful to many. Keep it up.
Wow man, hope somebody started this yt channel on 2018, when I iniciated my Industrial Engineering degree. Keep doing this valuable work!
I have changed 5 message templates over the last year, but was always confused what and how should i approach people. This video was beyond helpful. Thank you.
I have not finished the video at the moment that I am commenting but this video is definitely giving me a lot to think about as a first-year Mec Eng Student at PSU. I am looking for a summer '23 internship which is proving to be very difficult with no industry experience, thanks for the outreach tips!!!
Keep going bro, great information very valuable, Appreciate it!
Great tips my dude 🤜🏼
Hey man, just want you to know how much I never regret having subscribed to this channel. Always insightful. ❤From Kigali, Rwanda (ML Eng).
Really appreciate that :)
This video is gold! Thank you!
Great advice, thanks for sharing!
this is going to be really helpful in a couple of years! Ty!
Definitely valuable, thanks brother.
youre the goat bro
Wow, superb content and how beautifully videographed.
Great advice!
Amazing vids!
Excellent Tips.....🔥🔥🔥
I literally started using LinkedIn couple of days ago. It's like you read my mind 😁
haha
Thanks Tamer!
Tamer, thank you.
Awesome content
Thank you for the video
This is cool, thank you
Update: I did what you said and well I landed an offer thanks bro for looking out for us!
Thank you for the tips! I'm a mechanical engineer from Chile looking for a job opportunity and I will definitely apply some of these tips. Great video as always!
Have you got the job ?
@@dontsaymyname9441 I did! Thank you for asking.
@@BrunoSilva-ur7sb Congratulations!!
your work on youtube is so so helpful to baby engineers like me, ur videos help me a lot, half way through first year, and beginning to feel like its possible to land jobs and internships in the near future! will be sharing with my classmates!! GOAT
Just took notes. If I get a job, I'll be sure to message you.
Let's grab an ee grad role boys
Literally was thinking about how to do this today
Glad this video helped :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey bro! Your videos are amazing! I have a suggestion: could you please do a Labtop Guide for engineering students? I know you briefly mentioned a laptop buying guide in a back to school video, but I think an updated and longer version would be helpful! Does anyone else agree?
Ok I'll plan a video like that :)
Would you be able to make a tutorial on stress-strain analysis using SolidWorks?
Sir, make some videos related to FMEA , GD&T ,ROOT CAUSE ANANLYSIS (8D) ,PDM or Entire process in product manufacturing . Waiting from you Sir.
Bro could you please make videos for fresher also... Skills to be acquired and how to make LinkedIn profile attractive.
Show us study tips and where to get more resources for learning bro please
Education system is suck when students forces to study a lot but can’t find a job after graduation. It took about 2 years for my brother to find a job .
Is there any time of the day where one should msg and when not? I think since people can he in different time zones, so one can msg anytime of the day or night.
What should I do if an engineer accepts my connection request, but does not respond to the message I sent with the request?
Can I use the example messages from step 2 to ask engineers if they want to connect?
Can I message multiple people within in the same company?
What if you don’t have experience aside from school work and self projects? Just keep applying for internships/co-op and hope to get one?
The self-projects count as experience. You can put that on your resume and apply to internships with it.
Love the video :) tysm + ily
Also the typing sound hurts my ears :( tho the rest of the vid did not hurt my ears so W
Oh my bad...I'll try to reduce its volume in the future
damn. just started doing this with hopes that this might help, but linkedin has a monthly limit of like 5 personalized connection notes. idk if there's any way to bypass or if this method is just impossible without paying for premium :(
I recently just resign from my job , would i get a good job like that again? I got it from placement
Please share a pdf of all those msg templates
Is there a way to find internships for a highschooler?
hey man, I'm currently deciding between ubc and Waterloo for university. I heard Waterloo is mainly reputed for their software engineering coops but how is it for civil? Also how was your social life at Waterloo (I heard that its extremely academic focused)?
Regardless of what type of engineering you choose at Waterloo, co-op will help you out. However, do keep in mind that some engineering programs can pay more and have greater job prospects. For example, software eng pays more than civil (generally). In terms of social life, Waterloo def isn't the best and I spent a lot of time studying, especially in my earlier years. However, you can always walk to Laurier which is right across the street for a nice social scene.
@@TamerShaheen thanks man really helped out. Been watching your videos for a while now and truly inspired
how about if you graduated and don't have any work experience?
ramadan mubarak
Thank you, Ramadan Kareem to you too :)
Did you get a job offer yet ? It is really bad for people who graduated in 2008 and 2019 . Economic recession! Many college graduations can’t find a job on a tough market.
Ramadan Mubarak
Thanks, Ramadan Kareem to you too :)
I’m a ME student I applied to 20 companies it’s been a month and no response. Makes me feel like they all denied me. I’ll keep waiting
Dear i have more questions to ask about enginnering career

هذه فكرة جيدة

Thanks, Ramadan Kareem to you too :)
