Mechanical Engineer Jobs
Big First Project
Mechanical Engineer - (City withheld for privacy), Indiana, United States
In your first couple of months on the job, preferably sooner than later, do one big project that goes above and beyond what is expected. The project should be something that will last and you can be directly credited for. Make sure your boss is aware of the project and this will give you a great first impression as well as boost your confidence from the positive feedback you receive.
