B: Survey Analysis:

9% of planning engineers who apply for jobs posted in the group got contacted by the companies (4% + 4% + 1%). This is a very high percentage since not all the jobs in the group are exclusive to our website. However, the interesting figure is that out of this 9%, 4% got a job; which is very good. The question here; is how to make yourself up from the 4% who can get a job whenever they apply for a planning engineer job.

C: How to make yourself from the top 4%?

On average, for each job post for a planning engineer job, around 50 engineers apply for this job. So, the following are tips and tricks to put you in the top of all other candidates:

1- Are you qualified?

To get a job you should be well qualified for this job. Remember, you are not alone in the market; many other engineers are applying for the same job and companies will select the best. Although, you can make your resume look like you are qualified; that is why out of 10 engineers in the interview, the company will select only one; or maybe none at all. So, how do you make yourself qualified? The simple answer is to get professional planning training courses. Still, I will tell you instead how to evaluate any training course in the following points:

· The course instructor should be a senior planning engineer/planning manager who participated in several mega projects.

· Training Course should be based on a real project case study.

· Planning training should be included not only a planning tool (primavera).

· Smart techniques of planning and scheduling are highly required to reduce the planning tasks’ time and effort.

2- Are you saying that you are qualified?

It is not enough to be qualified. Your resume should tell that. Recruiters and HR will look at your resume for around 10 seconds before they decide whether to read it or not. So, which message you can deliver in 10 seconds to draw their attention? Following tips and tricks to do so:

· Your resume should be in a clear big font your title. This is the first information HR will look for.

· Your Summary. In 3 to 4 lines tell your education, experience, and what you are looking for in your future job. No need to make it long; only a 3 to 4-line paragraph.

· Please, spend some time to format your resume properly. Imagine; I receive many resumes from juniors especially with completely blank pages at the end. I will never hire or contact someone who did not spend some time to format his resume and align the paragraphs.

3- Are you aware of the new planning job opportunities?
