for 16 years, i've worked from junior tech to senior engineer/asst. service engineer...

in my ex-company, i have noticed fresh technical/engineering graduates nowadays very much lacking in practical experience...

most fresh diploma holders just want to work 9-5... after 5 sharp, cabut...
most fresh degree holders just sit at desk... only go the production floor when immediate superior says so...

when arrange for training on weekends...
they ask if got OT pay or not...
totally no interest to improve themselves...
knowledge is your best asset for better job prospect...

sometimes having a good diploma/degree exam results does not mean they have a good practical mind...

example 1...
my boss employed a fresh diploma grad, said he was top 5 in his class...
he followed a senior tech out one day...
asked him to hold the tool bag as they walked about customer's factory...
stop at a line to inspect a faulty equipment...
after 5 minutes, the fresh grad complain the tool bag very heavy...
omg, he need instruction/permission to put it down???

example 2...
same guy as example 1...
senior tech ask him for test pen...
he gives him a ball point pen...

example 3...
this one involves a fresh degree grad from UK uni...
drives brand new civic to work...
he's in-charge of a team of fitters, welders, machinist, etc...
always sits at his desk playing his HP and PC...
never go to check the job his team is doing unless told so by the manager/director...
after 2 months, he was given his marching orders...

guys from my time, we would meet up in the office after office hours and talk about work done and problems faced, share information and knowledge...

just my 2 cents rant on this topic...

genuine hardworking engineers wouldn't careless and will just carry on what their job...

those who feel offended means they are the lazy ones...

he don't want the job...
because against his religion...
his religion say there is no such thing as makhluk asing...

aiyah...
when want to be no.1 in everything...
kena no.1 blame as also must accepct lah...

already vanished...
aliens from indo, myanmar, bangla, paki, india, viet, china, arab, etc...
all here in malaysia already...

wah lau...

the german engineer is correct, correct, correct...

his point is proven already liau...
