How to choose a job
Thread Content
Dear sea friends, I have a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. I have worked in a petrochemical company for four years, two of those years in shift work at the field level and two years in an office setting. There weren’t many highlights in my career, but I managed to complete all assigned tasks without making any major mistakes. The senior manager took into account my work experience and educational background and suggested three paths for me: 1) gaining experience in new facilities, 2) working as a production scheduler across the entire plant, or 3) staying in the office. I’m aware that opportunities in corporate offices are likely to become fewer and fewer, but I’m still very hesitant in making a choice. I would appreciate any advice you might have.
Plant-wide production scheduling sounds great.
Young and ambitious individuals can gain experience by working on new projects, offering good prospects for the future
Agree to gain experience with the new device upstairs~
I just don’t know if working shifts again will help me gain experience; maybe it’s a lack of confidence in myself
I know it’s good to lay a solid foundation, but since the projects have already been completed and construction has started, adding new facilities that haven’t yet gone through the construction phase makes me worry that things might fall behind.
I don’t know much about scheduling. It seems like everyone in the factory is aware of it, but my understanding is quite general
Testing new devices: getting involved from the planning stage, otherwise just in the office.
There is one final section of the facility that has not yet been built; it is estimated that this section will come online in September, and the design work for it has already been completed.
In that case, the chances of getting in again are slim; it’s better to stay in the office and focus on professional management.
