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.

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.

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!

As you embark on your career at Alstom, I encourage you to stay curious and embrace challenges. Curiosity drives innovation and learning, pushing you to explore new ideas, technologies, and methodologies. In an industry that is constantly evolving, asking questions and seeking knowledge will enhance your skills and keep you engaged. Don't hesitate to dive into projects outside your comfort zone; each experience will provide valuable lessons that contribute to your growth. Equally important is the mindset of embracing challenges. Engineering often involves complex problems that require creativity and perseverance to solve. When faced with obstacles, view them as opportunities to develop resilience and critical thinking. This proactive approach not only builds your expertise but also showcases your determination to succeed, which can lead to greater responsibilities and recognition within the company. Moreover, as you navigate your career, remember to cultivate a supportive atmosphere. Surround yourself with positive influences, seek mentorship from experienced colleagues, and foster collaboration within your teams. A healthy workplace is one where individuals feel valued, respected, and empowered to voice their ideas. By contributing to a culture of support and inclusivity, you not only enhance your own experience but also help create an environment where everyone can thrive. Ultimately, staying curious, embracing challenges, and nurturing a positive workplace will set the foundation for a fulfilling and successful career at Alstom.
