Good Morning Everyone,
I know there are tons of control engineer, PLC programmer and president of some automation companies on this forum. I am looking for an advice from you guys and I would appreciate if you can take out few mins and pass some valuable information.
My education background: Engineering in Electronics (3 Years)
Major: Automation and Robotics technician diploma (2 years)
I was/am so much passionate about electronics, embedded system programming, PLC, and robotics. but unfortunately, I could not end up working as PLC programmer or Control engineer or something similar because of my Immigration status in Canada ( I was on work permit during that time). To survive, I start working as a CNC programmer for 4 years and it was great learning for me. Last year, I got my permanent residency and then I start looking for jobs as a junior PLC programmer or automation technician. A company hired me as a CNC programmer but promise to send me on training to learn PLC skills because they do not have any PLC programmer in-house. I went to ABB rapid programming courses and Rockwell automation programming courses and now comfortable with PLC a little bit. But my passion is to work around PLC 24/7 which I am not getting at my current workplace. I started applying for jobs and get an interview for junior control engineer at machine building company in Ontario.
Today is my interview and I am looking forward to it but my question is,
As I don't have much experience in this industry or I would say I may know a little bit more than recent graduate. What should I expect in an interview and How can I convince my message that I am so much passionate about this industry but don't have much experience in it and looking for a chance.
I am writing a post on this forum because I am expecting some of you may take interview at your current workplace and I want to know what do you always look for when hiring a junior control engineer or a person who doesn't have much experience in control engineering field but looking for a chance to sneak in.
Thank you everyone for reading this post.
Any advice will be appreciated
Have a great day!
Best,
