Top Insider Advice

Tell your manager and colleagues what you want to learn more about or which skills you wish to improve. They may be able to assign you tasks that align with your interests and supporting your personal development plan. Knowing your preferences, strengths and weaknesses makes it easier for you to ask for help when needed. Sharing your questions, and supporting on answers, creates an openness that enables dialogue and exchange of experiences, giving everyone an opportunity to grow.

What do you like about your job and the company?

I get highly motivated when I get to work in a team that is driven by curiosity, collaboration and technical creativity! Trains attract engineers of all ages, and there is always more to learn and new technology & tools available.

Greatest achievements

A strong memory for me is when I was part of a validation team on a train in the north of France. It was a great experience, and nervous, to test train in real life! The supervision software and tests met the requirements, and the software package could be rolled out across the train fleet on time.

Research the Company: Understanding the company's values, culture, and recent developments can help you articulate why you’re a great fit during interviews. Network Actively: Leverage LinkedIn and professional networks to connect with industry professionals. Networking can open doors to opportunities you may not find through traditional job searches. Prepare for Interviews: Take the time to practice for skill-based interviews by reviewing common interview questions related to the skills required for the position. Prepare specific examples that showcase your skills and achievements, demonstrating how you have successfully applied them in previous roles. This preparation will boost your confidence and help you articulate your value effectively during the interview. Stay Positive: Job searching can be challenging. Maintain a positive mindset, and don't be discouraged by setbacks; each experience is a learning opportunity.

Top Insider Advice

In a world where we’re often told to be ourselves, not many of us actually are. My best advice is to genuinely strive to be authentic. It can be difficult and scary, but at the end of the day, we need voices that dare to stand out. That said, be mindful of how you use AI... it’s easy to point out when someone relies too heavily on it. So, when applying for a job or sending emails, use AI primarily as a grammar and spelling check rather than as the main thing! I love to meet the real you soon!
