how to upgrade my present career

When you say you are "mechanical engg" do you mean that you have 4 year degree, diploma, certificate in mechanical engineering?

What is your vision for the next promotion for you, and what do you see as what your position will be in 5 years?

If you tell us what your dream job would be, and what you have right now, we can make suggestions.

hey milo,

i have done 4year degree in ME, i am constantly working with big OIL companies. I need to be through with details regarding piping, bolting and others.

So need help in finding rite materials which could help me upgarding the knowledge in these area.

I want to pursue MBA to reach at manager level in my career.

You would have already had strength of materials and metallurgy corse and labwork...

Sounds like a review of API, ASTM, ASNT,And ASME Standards, seminars, and codes would be right up your alley, from a North American perspective.

Before studying for MBA , I would suggest THEGOAL By Goldratt, and TRIBES by Seth Godin.

Amen.

Actually milo is suspicious that the OP does not in fact have claimed 4 year degree...

I agree completely. An attention to detail and respect for your audience is an important part of being good at any thing.

We all unconsciously judge people by their clothes, speech, manners, education etc, (as a fat, poorly dressed, ugly male I know this is unfair) make sure others get the impression you want to give.

Steve S,

Because someone does not use proper English it does not mean that they are technically deficient or that there quality of work is suspect - apparently Albert Einstein was not that clever at spelling either, therefore one could conclude that you have concerns about the quality of his work.

I did not find your response to be that professional (since you were the one that brought up the subject of professionalism)

Well Mr. Snow I suppose we will have to agree to disagree.

If this were a post by someone who did not have a good command of English, I would be willing to excuse that.

However, in my assessment this is a case of internet speak, and as a manager I have spent a lot of time trying to help my team understand that internet speak does not present a professional image. At least in my opinion it leaves the impression that the person is sloppy in their communication. If sloppy in communication I have to wonder if the rest of that person's work is sloppy as well.

I suppose we can argue about the definition of professional behaviour, and perhaps I am behind the times, but as the father of five teenagers, teenage behaviour in an employee makes me a bit nervous, and it does not meet my definition of professional.

Again (as stated before), I suppose I am a grumpy old man, and you are certainly welcome to your own definition of professional.

With kind regards,

When you say you "need to be through with details", does that mean you are resenting your current level?

English...you could brush up on your grammar and spelling upfront, then go into precision inspection, tooling, and anything else that applies to the market you'd like to target, or broaden your metallurgy knowledge. Also look into lean manufacturing or Six Sigma to enhance your knowledge of manufacturing processes and how to continually improve.

How did you become a Mechanical Engineer, did you go to school or did you obtain your position through on-the-job training?
