ABOUT ME:
My name is Tamer Shaheen, and I am a recent mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Waterloo, currently working as a Mechanical Design Engineer. I like to make videos about university/college, engineering, and personal development. Thank you so much for watching!

getting laid off around Ramadan must be rough. Good luck in your journey man inshallah you'll find something better

Tamer, know that your stumbles in life may be for a reason. Without them you would not be educating the upcoming generation of young engineers about possible mistakes to avoid. You struggling right now will save hundreds and possibly thousands of others. Thank you for the information. You will eventually lift yourself up, this work will pay off.

[@abbasdharamsi]

It's enlightening to see how removing certain sections like internships and GPA can actually make your resume stronger by emphasizing relevant experience and skills. The advice on continuously improving and tailoring your resume is golden! I am planning to make a video about my engineering resume soon as well. Awesome vid Tamer :)

[@AhmadAlZA]

I love the look of this new resume, it feels a lot more mature !

[@alonsorodriguez7953]

I have a similar story Tamer. Layed off from a robotics startup a week before my birthday. I gave everything to the company. Even worked upaid weekends because I believed in the dream. Good thing is we're both young man! We got this! Wishing you the best and keep up the great vids!

[@mdyusufzaman9356]

did you got any stocks if not you were a fool to join they just make use of you as toilet paper and throw in the bin when it's used 😢😢..

[@jossefyoucef4977]

I wish you the best Tamer because you are the best

[@danielcanizales731]

Hi Tamer, I had a final round interview at Microsoft yesterday for Mech E. Thank you so much for all of your help and inspiration you have given on this channel. A couple of other students interviewing were from the University of Waterloo and it reminded me of you! Thanks for all you do!

[@mustafaiqbal89]

Appreciate this, Tamer. Jazakallahu khayran.

[@redtaylorsversion8492]

Its always a good day when you post💙

[@iESTO818]

Thanks, Tamer! You're providing such great value for young engineers (myself included)! GOAT

[@HappyLearner-jb7jp]

Thanks for the video, great info and insight into mechanical engineering.

[@IoT_]

That's exactly the content what I am looking forward to. Thanks 👍

[@unseenftbl3681]

I saw ur recent TikTok and I hope u get the job. U deserve it brother. Eid Mubarak

[@seunadewola3523]

This was a very insightful video, it really gives a new perspective to the resume.

[@nR-kv7xo]

this guy did you a solid. Excellent advice. Hope you get something soon, but also I like your videos so..

[@QLY.]

Great video as always, Happy Eid Tamer

[@aliaklee765]

انشاء الله عوضك بالافضل يباشمهندس❤

[@cathyjordan7692]

Tamer, love love your videos! I’m a graphic designer but I find your advice on resumes to be very relevant! I make my mech eng son watch them… hehehe! I will say that in my experience, job hunt advisors have said the one column format is much more readable by the bots recruiters utilize to scan applications. Rock on Tamer!

[@MohamedAhmed-sf1hc]

I really enjoy your video, wish you all the best

[@sandwich.entity3810]

Great video. I had thought in your first resume video there was a lack of communciatuon/teamwork skills mentioned, even though you clearly have them. Useful to see my concerns validated thank you.

[@MrTrollified]

good luck brother wish you the best. im on the same grind

[@gayakola3]

This was very informative. I took some notes down as well for my own job search. Also, I kinda liked your skills section - how you actually used these skills. But yes, I get why a simple list would also do.

[@adaml5851]

This is a really good PSA. Being an engineer is actually boring, and you get laid off a lot. You're basically treated like a tradesman.

[@compilemylife3192]

Eid Mubarak Tamer🎉! I hope you’re doing well. I definitely agree with the Google engineer who reviewed your resume. This was an awesome video and inshallah you get your dream position faster than you know it.

[@TamerShaheen]

appreciate it 🙏

[@saifamjad908]

Yooo the boi is back

[@HanaTNT]

This video had great tips! I will adjust some things including the university alumnus on the top header.

[@TamerShaheen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@noahtah1511]

compare yourself to where you were just 5 years ago, and how much you have grown since then. you're doing great dude, and we wish you the best.

[@CaitlinFotheringham]

Noice - just an observation with your new resume and it may be intentional - you've shortened some of the months to three letters but not all ("June" in the Volta Energy section and "April" in the Education section)

[@devdayz101]

Hey man, I've been watching your videos for a while now and I just wanted to say you've inspired me a lot. Don't worry about the haters, they just envy your drive and dedication. Also have you considered being an entrepreneur? or a full-time content creator? I know potential when I see it, and that potential may go to waste if you work at a company. I believe everything happens for a reason, and maybe you are meant to be greater than a job at Google or Apple could allow you to be. All the best man.

[@maksatkhobdabayev4454]

The G. My brother and I have been watching your videos during my junior year, and I personally thank you for the content you make: your passion is contagious! We got internships at Mercedes Benz and NYU Tandon respectively, which even sponsored our J1 visas for the US. I am graduating soon with BS in Bioengineering and also looking for jobs in Biotech but they mostly hire PhD's, so I am trying to diversify my portfolio and apply to MEng and EEE positions too. Wish me luck!

[@TamerShaheen]

ayy that’s amazing! Must’ve been so cool to work at Mercedes :)

[@monsterwolfyt1116]

Nah man! Will have to RE_MAKE Resume again! Yes, Editing your Template. Huge Thanks Man!

[@TylerVert]

Nice video, resume looks a lot better aesthetically at least. I was actually wondering if your buddy had the opportunity to look over the revised resume and see if this was kind of what he envisioned when he wrote the advice/tips.

[@vedantpatel2131]

New resume looks much cleaner.

[@lsjmartin6220]

Really hope u get hired soon 🙏🏾

[@towlatrip6529]

This season in your life is just a test from the Most High. Keep showing up for yourself, and you will thrive beyond anything you could imagine. You have people on your side who obviously want you to succeed, Tamer. Sending positive energy your way, g.

[@TamerShaheen]

Love it brother, thank you!

[@AndiPlays]

You should write what software you used to do thermal simulations

[@AmmaarBedasso]

amazing vid

[@mhamedsoldierofgodbenyouss7697]

You're a good man Tamer, Allah will guide you and protect you. I wanna get my resume reviewed, can you be kind enough to make videos reviewing resumes from your followerd, would be sick! (I'm a Software Engineer)

[@Suchitthaduru]

project AMG, has a nice touch to it =D

[@phillipgoat00]

As a mechanical engineer I learned to accept criticism like a big boy. Anytime anyone is willing to help just swallow your pride and learn that most engineers are smarter than you, that's how you learn.

[@gurmansinghbains]

Hey Tamer I know you are going through tough times, but can you make a video on how get your first engineering internship. Thank you and best of luck

[@burhanqureshi3087]

Salam Tamer- I have a BS and MS in Mech Engr, I have a couple internship experiences (oil & gas and civil) and then one year as a quality engineer for a major defense contractor. I want to transition into the space industry. (I'm also an EIT) Any advice on how to market myself for these positions? The job descriptions mention a lot of technical stuff that I haven't really had the chance to learn in my work experiences. Quality role is more focused on standards and processes. The reason I want these jobs is to get that technical experience but it seems like I need some to get started. Its like a catch-22 can't tell if I'm just overthinking or not lol Thanks so much for the videos, will keep you in my duas!

[@ShellyNoelly]

Hey Tamer - just curious. Was the problem getting reached out to for interviews or getting past the interview? Respectfully - if you're getting interviews - your interview skills maybe where you would get the most bang for your buck Eid Mubarak!

[@TamerShaheen]

Certain companies like Zoox for example, no matter how many times i applied there…they would never ever interview me. While other companies like Apple would see my resume and request to interview me. So, my initial resume worked sometimes and didn’t work other times…that’s why I revamped it. With regards to my interview skills, i’m consistently working on it, but unfortunately most of the time, it’s difficult to get feedback on the interview since I’d do well on the technical interviews based on the recruiter and hiring manager feedback but they still wish to go “a different direction” or “find a more qualified candidate.” Job hunting is as much practice as it is luck 🤷‍♂️

[@danialshah2957]

Try companies out of north America You have enough experience to land a high paying job in Dubai

[@TamerShaheen]

Where would I find these companies in Dubai that I could apply to that are hiring engineers? On LinkedIn as well?

[@shatakshipandey8014]

Do I need to have a resume whilst if I am just out of high school? I am considering applying for skills programs provided by certain companies and a few of them require a resume. I don't know what to do.🤔🤔

[@--Singularity--]

It´s good to have your wc in good condition.

[@HumzaAhmed-pu2ed]

Honestly now Im getting scared of finding a job after I graduate as a electrical engineer because your much much much more qualified then me and rn your struggling to find a connsistent engineering job. So the chances for me to get one feel impossible now :(.

[@mecanuktutorials6476]

7:41 how is taking internships off a good idea???? That one doesn’t make sense to me

[@codeweb8368]

Tell us when you get a job men.

[@jakoblindelof92]

What makes me angry though is that one of the main reasons we all went through an engineering degree, is because we though would be better of than almost any other major. Almost like put on a pedestal beacuse everyone talked about a big shortage of engineers. I mean if a political science major had to go through this process then sure, but engineers? I honestly though the whole point of engineering shortage (and going through a VERY difficult degree) was so that we would get employed much easier than anyone else. If I have to go through the same hoops as a Poli. sci. major then what was the point of it all? Because it was fun? Naaah. I would have picked something else today to study,.

[@carsonmusser6647]

People who are truly successful enjoy what they do, maybe its time to switch gears. Choosing engineering JUST for the bag, will ironically make you not get the bag

[@beraneks]

get rid of the summary of qualifications... boring big block of text as the first thing you see on the resume is an automatic no from my perspective

[@rememberme3762]

This shows the problem is the recruiters but we can’t change that

[@stuff4232]

have you ever thought maybe your youtube channel might have some affect on you getting a job?

[@beachboardfan9544]

Onlyfans when?

[@TamerShaheen]

ur wild 💀

[@therealg4197]

lol are you sure you know c++?
