Portfolio project
One project cannot replace experience, but it gives an employer something concrete to discuss and shows you can finish real work.
36 hours
New service journey: Child Psychologist → Domestic Robot Installer transition case
Take a real but anonymized situation from your current field and solve it as a Domestic Robot Installer would. The central project task is preliminary diagnosis from images and sensor readings.
Your advantage is domain context from Child Psychologist. Make it visible: show which beginner mistakes it helps you avoid.
What the project folder should contain
- A service map, difficult-case standard and scenario-based validation
- A concise decision memo covering inputs, constraints and two rejected alternatives
- A result check using measurable criteria plus one failed approach and what changed
- A public 5–7-screen case study with all confidential data removed
What makes the project strong
- visible use of robot safety
- a real-world problem rather than a tutorial exercise
- a measurable outcome and explicit limitations
- enough depth to support technical interview questions

09 · An honest check
What you may not like
A good career choice is more than a list of benefits. Before studying, check whether you can live with the target role’s daily reality.
Human situations are unpredictable
Standards do not cover everything; you must stay calm when a client changes requirements or arrives upset.
The daily rhythm will change
The target role contains substantially more constant human interaction. That can be tiring even when the occupation sounds appealing in theory.
Entry pay may dip
Modeled average pay in the target occupation is lower. A financial buffer or an internal project may help avoid losing seniority.
