Network. Everyone talks about networking, but it truly is a life hack. After University grades are gone, you'll still be reviewed once a year or so, but the amount of written feedback is much more limited. Building a strong network is now your new good grades and it will strongly dictate your future career opportunities. Also remember that networking is not only for those in positions above you, so be nice to everyone. Buy in. Buy in to the culture, to the social and to the company. Show an interest and ask questions. This will make your worklife become more enjoyable and also help you with your networking, especially with those in positions above you as they are more bound to company values and culture.

What do you like about your job and the company?

With global warming looming on the horizon, being able to work with something that is both impacting peoples daily life while trying to create a more sustainable future is a huge win in my books.

Greatest achievements

During a social in one of my first weeks with Alstom, one of my colleagues jokingly asked "have we really become so desperate that we are hiring teachers?". While intended as a joke, it still stuck with me a little. So when I, during my second rotation, managed to make myself so integral to the project, that management decided the only viable option, as to not impact the project progress, was to delay my third rotation, I felt like I was truly approved. It was still unfortunate for me, as less time was left for the forth rotation, but it showed the impact one can have in just three months and is something I look back to be a little proud of.

Alstom's internal learning videos and courses are a good way to get an overview of a new topic, process or even a new language. In addition, a lot of new things are learned from experiences of other colleagues and during your own work - learning by doing! Try to pick up what is going on besides your own scope, exchange ideas during during a meeting or lunch time and ask questions. So, see you in the cantine?
