In my daily activities I encourage my colleagues to build a network in our team. Learning something about people that are in your professional network can help in creating strongest relations and a friendly job environment. You can start with active listening, make sure to spend time and have a chat with your colleagues regarding their issues, their hobbies, their life and about what they love to do. In this way you have chance to work in a team, where the communication is easy and you could be able to better understand people behaviour.

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?

Top Insider Advice

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.
