Breaking into the engineering industry today takes more than just a degree. We’ve worked with thousands of graduates and early-career professionals across civil, mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineering — and one thing is clear: The job market rewards clarity, specialisation, and confidence.Yet many young engineers unknowingly sabotage their own success. Here are the top 5 mistakes we see — and how you can fix them fast.
“Seeking a challenging position where I can grow” is not a differentiator — it’s a red flag.
The Fix:
Your CV must show clear engineering impact. Use metrics, project outcomes, and tools. Think:
“Reduced design time by 20% using AutoCAD”
“Assisted in load calculation for a 50-unit housing project”We teach you how to build a CV that gets noticed — by recruiters and automated systems (ATS).
Trying to be “open to anything” often reads as: “not focused.”
The Fix:
You don’t need 10 years of experience to specialise. Start by aligning with an industry vertical — HVAC, civil infrastructure, automation, etc. Use your coursework, internships, or personal projects as proof.Inside our course, you'll learn how to define your engineering niche and position yourself as a high-potential candidate within it.
Uploading your CV to job boards and waiting isn't enough. Employers hire who they can find, not just who applies.
The Fix:
We help you build a LinkedIn presence, reach out to recruiters with confidence, and use smart job search strategies that actually work.You’ll learn:
You studied thermodynamics — but that’s not what they’re testing.
The Fix:
We guide you through technical and soft-skill interview prep. Learn how to answer:
“Tell us about a time you solved a field problem”
“How would you improve our current system?”You’ll also get mock interview templates and feedback from real hiring scenarios.
Engineers often assume “my work speaks for itself.” But in a crowded market, your story matters.
The Fix:
We teach you to build a personal brand that aligns with the jobs you want — from your CV to your social profiles to how you introduce yourself at networking events.
Our job-readiness course is built by recruiters and engineers, and tailored for real hiring environments in Africa and beyond.
“After completing this course, I rewrote my CV and got 3 interviews within 2 weeks.”
