 What should engineering students be doing during this COVID-19 pandemic? I received that question from an engineering student just days ago. He's home. He has kind of nowhere to go, nothing to do, and is very worried about getting an engineering job in the fall. Here's two things that I recommend it. Number one, volunteer. Call, email or message every engineering company in your discipline that you can find and offer to volunteer to help them right now in any way, shape or form. Whether that means working on their website for them or their social media channels, maybe doing some research for them online, anything that you can do offer to help. Believe me, doing this will give you some really good experience in getting to work with people in the company and when we come out of this and we will and companies will be strong in engineering, they'll be going to you first. It's just an invaluable way to gain experience. The second thing you can do is find a mentor. There are a lot of engineers right now that might have a little extra time on their hands and they may be willing to help someone like you. Just give you career advice. You know, help you learn how to network effectively. You can find them by using websites like LinkedIn. Reach out to younger engineers that are really motivated in their careers. Maybe they're out for a few years, but they want to help and they want to give back to a student. Please don't waste this time. You want to be able to look back in a few months and say, wow, I really use that time to the best of my ability and my career is really paying off because of that. So go ahead, take action, volunteer and find a mentor and I hope that we can continue to inspire you. You can subscribe here for our weekly 80-20 shorts.
