Even though I do not work in a medical device industry, some advice I would give is working on your networking skills and finding any experience related to what you want to do. Building on your networking skills helps with learning how to talk to people you’ve never met before and helps to see what else is out there. There might be other companies that are looking for potential candidates and networking to those people can benefit you in getting that position. Gaining experiences during your undergrad can help with finding positions after graduation. I wish I focused on these two areas to help project my career better. I also wish there were more classes to teach you how to work in the industry. While applying for jobs, it’s difficult to know which type of jobs are the ones to pursue. If we were taught what kind of positions were out there as a biomedical engineer and what they do and how to succeed in these positions, it would be more beneficial for us as students. GPA was always stressed on when in college and for an initial job, I believe it is important, especially for the bigger companies, but networking and experience is heavily relied on. I also believe many schools should incorporate co-ops and internships into their programs to help the students more. I went to a school where it was not required to do this and it was to be done either over the summer or to take less credits and do it during the semester but most students who are not required to do something will only focus on their academics to make sure they’re doing well. If I was required to take an internship during my curriculum, I would have stressed more about finding one verses just on my academics. I also believe that being more proactive during the semester to learn different coding languages is essential too because these will make you stand out different than other candidates.
