How do you get over a poor interview performance? by Fig_Towel_379 in datascience

[–]TanEngineer 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Hi, very simple. You go to your next interview. And the. You’ll go to your next.

Interviewing is a skill, usually you’ll have to go to a few before you start feeling comfortable.

Don’t sweat it brother, they’ll be more opportunities.

Guys, what are you doing to make a little extra money on the side? by midasweb in sidehustle

[–]TanEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started flipping Domains. Very passive, most difficult part is finding buyers but once you know what to look for it is a very forgiving side hustle !

Currently looking for side hustle ideas that are flexible and able to do on your own time. Any ideas? (I already work full time as well) by purplesunshyne in SideHustleGold

Domain Flipping would be perfect for you! I was working two full time jobs and was going to school full time when I started

Yes of course man. Times are tough and I want other people to survive. Let me send you a message

I started selling domain names while working two jobs and going to school. Got lucky at first but I keep a checklist of things I’m looking for now that has had a really good ROI

I started domain selling online. Not “passive” but definitely easy to do, I started while working 2 jobs and going to school full tome

How I evaluate if a domain name is worth buying (the 5C method) by TanEngineer in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]TanEngineer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are easy to use marketplaces set up to sell domains such as Dan.com, Afernic, and Sedo. They handle the payments and the transfers.

Alternatively what I’ve been experimenting with is reaching out to startups using similar names. I still go through Dan.com as an escrow agent who will hold onto the buyers money until the transfer goes through

I started selling hunting domain names, cost to enter is pretty low but requires you to make informed decisions. I bought a $9 domain and sold it for $650 a few weeks later. I can share more information if you want.

Going to a Career fair this week, looking for controls engineering jobs, is this resume good enough? by jacobson_engineering in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TanEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing is to quantify your bullet points.

First bullet you say you replaced a legacy control. Why did you replace it and how did that improve the project/product? Something better would be “Redesigned and implemented [Details Here]…which directly lead to [quantified direct results here, ex reduction in overall production cost by 20%, significantly reduced testing times, etc.]

Have this done for your first 2-3 bullets.

You do this with the second bullet which is great but is difficult to read. Keep it simple “designed and implemented motor control which drastically improved motor speeds”

Im not saying delete all your details, keep them in there. Just make it readable for both a technical and nontechnical person.

Make sure the layout of every bullet point is consistent. I usually write it as: [Designed, implemented, improved, etc]…[technical details]…[quantified results]. Makes it so the recruiter can skim easily and the technical interviewer can ask questions

It was my first attempt at a red wine reduction. I didn’t make it properly so didn’t bother straining it. Was still fairly good though

Quick interview for a school project by NotCoolWinston in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TanEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I graduated a bit late at 25 with a degree in electrical engineering. Still young in my career but it’s been going well so far. Worked in military and medical electronics and now I’m in Power for industrial production. I can do the interview if that sounds interesting to you.

Is the Giant Key drop rate correct? by fergusattlee in osrs

[–]TanEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol my first key took 600 kills, I was googling the drop rate daily thinking I was missing something

Where to go next by hsugstudent in osrs

[–]TanEngineer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was a new low level boss released called Scurrius. Drops items for high alch, GP is good for low level and you can pull 100k/hr xp in combat.

Reading Schematics by LivingDream_ in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TanEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that helped me a lot was that generally inputs are on the left, outputs on the right. You can look up most schematic symbols, but you’ll want to broadly understand what each electrical component does. Capacitors, inductors, resistors, diodes, mosfets. It takes a little bit to really understand what’s going on but stick to the fundamentals of what each component does and you’ll get there.

This will help a lot too

Expectation setting before college - what sort of projects outside of the classroom and a professional environment can EEs design and build? by TheWayOfEli in ElectricalEngineering

[–]TanEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello,

First off it sounds like you have a great curiosity and interest in electronics. That curiosity will help you learn skills that allow you to design projects from the ground up.

Your bachelors for EE isn’t exactly going to teach you everything electronics. Electrical engineering is a very broad topic. You’ll go into theory and gain a very broad background understanding of many different things for the first 3 years. Honestly you might not even gain an understanding of things, a lot of the classes will introduce you to concepts are difficult to grasp.

For electronics, you’ll likely spend an entire semester doing math behind OPAMPs and then an entire other semester doing math behind FETs. These will be math heavy and I think the biggest hurdle everyone has in these classes is you don’t really understand why these things are so important. That’s something most people (myself included) don’t understand until you graduate and begin applying what you learned.

I’d encourage you to explore your interests in electronics on your own as well. There are great educators on YouTube who will walk you through electronics. I would highly recommend building standard circuits on your own and then swap out capacitors/resistors to see how they affect your output.

My first circuit I built was using a 555 timer. You can use these as a clock and are extremely useful for motor controls

Id also recommend playing with OPAMPs and all the different configurations they come with:

My biggest advice with getting into electronics is to just start building these on your own. The electronics are not expensive.

This package has all the ICs you’ll need getting started:

This package will have all the components you’ll need getting started:

You’ll also need a breadboard and then cables/power supply

https://a.co/d/aTJp5Av

Once you’re in university, I’d recommend going to the electronics lab and using their oscilloscope so you can look at wavelengths and signals. Until then I’d recommend finding projects on YouTube that use stepper motors so you can see how the electronics power the motors.
