Voices from Siemens CT representatives:
Advice for graduates wanting to work in industry
The following hands-on advice for students interested in joining Siemens CT shows what is important:
“It is important to start early – work as intern, write a master’s or PhD thesis
in industry, collect contacts”
“Basic research is seldom done in industry. If you like to do research in
industry, be aware that you should also be able to think and act as a R&D
manager”
„Try to get additional learning courses concerning business administration,
accounting, project planning, business strategy, and presentation“
“Be open-minded and ready to make yourself an expert in topics other than
your current focus area“
„Be prepared to collaborate with diverse partners, respect processes, and
think of patterns“
