I've been working in Paris now
for the past 3 years and my current
job is as an EDP Project Manager.
I worked with data analysis techniques,
i.e., looking for relevant data
sources and exploiting them,
so-called "data-mining",
"big data" and things like that.
I think these skills helped me a lot
when seeking a job
for one thing, the UTC engineering
diploma has an excellent reputation
for my targeted companies.
I, for example, work in EDP
and computer sciences in general,
this is usual and welcomed
by consultancy agencies specialised in EDP.
That is the first noteworthy point
that helped me secure a job
and the second point
is that it also helped me integrate the
company who hired me
and as I said earlier,
I found it hard to work
and/or exchange opinions
with French students
but, in parallel,
it provided great improvement
in the way I communicated
with the French in general.
During my corporate'integration'
I had no problems at all
so, on this second point,
we can agree it was a success
thanks to my studies at UTC.
To be precise, I have just recently
changed my job. Before I had
mainkly been involved in technical matters
as what is called "tech lead"
i.e., a "technical leader"
working in a team for 3 years
on EDP special techniques.
So I have just changed
because I wanted to learn
something about
management methodology
so I chose to move to
another company
but to continue as Project Manager.
So, for the future
we'll see what happens
and maybe I'll get a position
here.
My intention is to work
for another 3 years
in my new position
afterwards, we shall see
maybe I'll get involved
in other study areas
for example, to do an MBA,
in Management, or to move up
the managerial ladder a bit more.
