  4. Build an engineering case with requirements, calculations, a model or prototype, tests and trade-off analysis.
  5. Review 20–30 vacancies and choose only courses or certificates that repeatedly appear in employer requirements.
  6. Rewrite your résumé for Electrician, add the case and begin with test applications, internships, projects or adjacent tasks at your current employer.
