Regarding work, I’m in the process control field, and it’s related to the Nanjing Boiler Inspection Institute
Thread Content
It’s been since I participated in the campus recruitment in October, and I still have no idea which industry to choose – pressure vessels, chemicals, petroleum, machinery. So, due to a lack of money, I went to Nanjing last week to attend an interview at the Nanjing Boiler Inspection Institute; however, it’s not possible to get a permanent position there, and the salary is quite average, just enough to cover basic living expenses. (I’m more inclined toward the pressure vessel industry; many in my class have chosen jobs in construction and machinery.) I still don’t want to start working yet; I hope those who are more experienced can give me some advice
I’m also in the chemical machinery field; I wish you success in finding a good job
When you first graduate, signing on with a good company means one with a good reputation, not necessarily one with good benefits. Whether it’s a full-time or contract employee. It will be easier to change jobs in the future.
I’m also under control; think it over carefully! One’s first job in life can potentially influence one’s entire life……
My opinion: When I first graduated, I thought working at a boiler inspection agency sounded really impressive and great. But now my view has changed. Having worked in special equipment management at an enterprise for two years and having dealt with boiler inspection agencies quite often, I’ve realized that their work isn’t as good as we thought; the technical level there is just average. As we all know, the supervision and inspection system in China is pretty much what it is (you get it, right?). It’s not possible to delve deeply into advanced techniques there, but if you’re tasked with carrying out daily routine tasks, dealing with countless forms, and preparing reports – reports that aren’t really meaningful but still have to be produced – then it’s not very interesting. So that’s the situation regarding unconventional technical approaches. If you can pursue a regular civil service path, and if you have the desire, the ability, and the connections to work in administration, then it’s something worth considering. . . . . . . I won’t say more.
Reply to 1# Luoluo20082012: If you want to work in the field of pressure vessels, try to find a job at chemical machinery factories, air conditioning or blower factories, or design institutes. If you want a similar level of expertise but want to focus on development in management, choose production plants such as chemical factories. If you truly have a passion for something else or another industry, dare to step outside your field of expertise. Whether you like it or not, your first job truly determines the level of success you will achieve in life, and it generally sets the direction for the industry in which you will work for the rest of your life! This is called entering the industry; once you’re in, it’s hard to get out. Even small industries within the broader chemical sector will find it difficult to make transitions in the future.
Reply to 5# wlc19820707: Thank you for your guidance, senior. My plan is to enter the container industry first and then consider changing fields later. It seems that working at a boiler inspection agency isn’t easy either; most employees there work on-site. I want to learn as much as possible first; I really don’t care about salary
Reply to 2# feihong622847: Yeah, the industry determines the level of difficulty; it’s really frustrating
Reply to 3# lycpe: I think the same way – I won’t stay in one place for more than five years
