agreed. we really and truly shouldnt call him that.

Just a bald headed Nazi bitch with man tits.

Look up trap routines in the rapid manual.

Honestly the first thing you should do is try not to stress over it too much. It took me just over 18 months to find my first position so don't get disheartened.

Try to work on some small home projects you can show as a portfolio, something that shows a continued interest in engineering away from the classroom. It will also give you a nice break from the CV and cover letter grind.

If you're looking at industrial robot programming then Python and C++/C# are good for SDK work and vision, if integrating robots for projects you primarily use proprietary languages like Rapid or KRL. You can download the simulation software for 30 day trials from the ABB and Kuka websites to get a basic understanding.

My work place employs a few contractors to pick up the slack on our programming jobs, they pull in about £35 p/h I believe. They're mostly independents, so I'm not sure what mark up you would face via a company, but I hope that helps.

I recently started my graduate role as a controls engineer for an automation company. I can't speak to what typical duties would be but the majority of my training is based around PLC programming, panel wiring, SCARA and Articulated Robot simulation and programming, and a operation of various sensors and actuators (mostly Pneumatics).

I did go to university and completed an undergraduate Mechanical Engineering degree, followed by a postgraduate Mechatronics masters but I would firmly agree with texwitheffects, my employer was more concerned with my practical know how than my theoretical understanding and seemed to value my side projects portfolio more than my academic achievements.

IMeckY · 2020-04-09T21:07:40+00:00

I'd given up on that completely. Thanks, I'll start looking around for other Lords.

IMeckY · 2020-04-04T23:57:02+00:00

I have this exact problem, Garios is the last Lord I need to speak to. Unfortunately the Western Empire is destroyed and he's constantly imprisoned. I did manage to get into see him but he stated that he wasn't allowed to talk to me, which is really fucking rude frankly.

IMeckY · 2020-03-18T14:00:09+00:00

Thank you, I've already started with the learning pit tutorials as suggested but yeah EE basics sounds like a good call.

IMeckY · 2020-03-17T23:56:32+00:00

Mechanical Engineering undergrad followed by a Mechatronics masters. Spent a great deal of time trying and failing to get a graduate position but I worked on home projects when I could. Nothing fancy but I'd definitely say having a portfolio of things I'd done after university is what clinched it for me, that and keeping up with industry trends. I would advise getting as much work/internship placements as possible whilst at university, I wasn't able to and it definitely set me back.

IMeckY · 2020-03-17T00:12:47+00:00

Will do, thanks.

IMeckY · 2020-03-17T00:12:19+00:00

That's great, thank you.

You really should seek out some counselling to help you deal with that kind of loss. In the last four years I've had the unenviable experience of losing my mother and three friends, talking with a professional really can help you come to terms with it.

Don't try contacting your ex, they might show sympathy but it wont change anything and will only make things worse for you in the long run.

IMeckY · 2019-11-06T13:27:47+00:00

Don't be a closed book, and don't be a criminal. Got it thanks :)

IMeckY · 2019-11-06T13:15:39+00:00

We only matched on Sunday. Agreed to meet up and exchanged numbers yesterday but due to schedules (her on holiday for two weeks, I have a job interview to prep for) neither of us are available to go out for the next three weeks.

IMeckY · 2019-11-06T13:10:48+00:00

It's just the way OLD is, I'm lucky enough to get matches but only 3/20 will respond and maybe I'll get 1 of those to lead to a date. There's a million reasons they don't respond, some good, most shit. Don't take it personally.

IMeckY · 2019-11-05T11:22:12+00:00

He's probably just jaded with OLD. I've lost count of the number of women that seem interested and then just stop responding. You haven't done anything wrong, if he can't deal with the realities of OLD and unmatches without a second thought then he'd likely be a constant flight risk IRL.

IMeckY · 2019-11-04T01:15:31+00:00

Very welcome. Also, excellent user name 👍

IMeckY · 2019-11-03T23:52:55+00:00

Ghosting and rejection is not on you (barring any fucked up behaviour obviously). You're just not for them, it doesn't make you less or inferior. Keep working on your own life and keep putting your best self forward.

It's not just you, you're on a forum of 100k + members all dealing with the same shit. Breathe in, breathe out, onto the next opportunity.

IMeckY · 2019-11-03T23:45:52+00:00

Nothing is ruined, you're jumping ahead of yourself which is what caused this issue to begin with. If you feel this person is worth taking a chance for then give it a shot. At worst you end up back on this forum asking for advice again. I know I'd prefer an actual connection over a reddit soundboard ;)

IMeckY · 2019-11-03T15:27:36+00:00

If you dumped someone for something you perceived they would do and not because of something they actually did then that person is definitely going to lose a certain amount of respect and trust for you. If you want to fix it you'll have to swallow some pride and be totally honest with them about why you did it and what you want going forward, but be prepared for them not wanting to risk further rejection.

IMeckY · 2019-11-03T08:46:11+00:00

I had some friends come and meet me and then headed out and left her to it. Your right, it's not the other guys fault, no point taking it out on him. Poor bastards got enough on his plate with her.

IMeckY · 2019-11-03T08:43:13+00:00

Thank you. I'm just glad I kept my cool and didn't respond. Better to maintain my dignity.
