He said he wanted to “discuss some matters related to (our firm’s) strategy exercise” and cc’ed only the head of the department and no one else from my firm. What could this be about? Only other potentially relevant piece of info is that I happen to be based in that country right now and ran into the CEO about a month ago and he casually said I should swing by.

Probably cuz you’re in the area and he wants to talk to someone in person

When he said month ago swing by, why didn’t you set time the next week? ABC man

Totally planned on it but current project has been crazy busy, and I’m still relatively junior so haven’t had it in me to ask manager for the time.

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

Any advice for dealing with repeated job rejections (after several rounds of interviews)? I try not to take it personally but it’s really been a blow to my ego.
