Finally I am doing training in Electro to do an internship of three weeks in a factory (which here is called " stage"), to learn more about the labor market and put into practice the knowledge acquired. I had some trouble finding the place to do the internship, I finally located myself in a factory near here (on Boulevard de Portland, Sherbrooke industrial park). The factory makes different products, but most sellers are pigments for cement. These products allow you to do architectural work where the cement is of different colors. It also sells machines to make cement mixtures automated in order to achieve different colors. Especially in the manufacture of these machines is that I was working those days. My main task was to wire electrical panels for these machines. The circuits are handled with Omron PLCs, with their input and output cards and they handled different relays and contactors to operate the various pneumatic valves that have the machine. The truth has been an interesting experience, and people have been very kind to me.
Parallel to this, I started the job search because I needed a week to complete the training. I started to apply everything simepre one you have heard about the job search (devote sufficient time, bring a resume and cover letter as the use to which it is postulated, use network, etc.) And I quickly called the first interview. For the interview I tried to also apply what they have always said to these situations: be quiet and look to the employer, show available for work to do, try to respond accurately to what you ask, etc) and tell them that I start work next Monday. I did not think were going to hire me so quickly and that before I took a little shock and I still have a week to complete the stage, so I'll finish the stage in the factory where I work.
Then I will tell you more details. For now I just have the idea that maybe the Pereira, (you can read his blog here) is right ...
I left a picture of the type of Masquin where I was working those days. The mixture leaves ready to drop it in the truck.
