One of the major employer&#8217;s aims to hire a QA\/QC Engineer is his or her qualifications, so this gonna be the main thing that we will look up to more than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Qualification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">qualifications<\/a> that a Quality Engineer can have to become competitive.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Education of a Quality Engineer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You must be a college graduate of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering ( BSCE ). It is a five years course degree but some schools are offering trimester, so you can take the course for only about four years!..<\/p>\n<p>But, anyone can become a Quality Engineer even though you are not a Civil Engineer as I mentioned before, as long as you have the strong desire or willingness and yes! You must be a degree holder as well. I&#8217;ve known one person in the neighboring company he&#8217;s an Architect but, in his current position, he is a QA\/QC Engineer. So it means it is depending on oneself if he or she has the willingness to shift to other fields of specialization.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Has a license as Engineer<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The best qualification that you can have is a license, there is a good advantage of having a license. When we talk about competition especially when it comes to the process of interview, this might be the major question of the interviewer &#8220;Have you got a license?&#8221; You will be ahead from the others who do not have it, it will be more comfortable and your self-esteem as well will go up. Your belief of being one to be hired is high.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Work experience<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Much better if you have work experience, preferably two or three years work experience is enough. It is very rare for one to be hired without work experience, I haven&#8217;t known anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Like me when I graduated college and passed the board exam. I immediately joined in a company just to get work experience. Actually, I joined in a government institution then because in my belief there I can get good experience. I was not mistaken right after I was hired I immediately went down to the field and inspected the project assigned to me. It&#8217;s just happened exactly what I wanted to become so I was happy then and feeling contented.<\/p>\n<p>This is what I noticed some of my classmates didn&#8217;t go in line with their career, don&#8217;t ever think about that, you&#8217;ll lose. You just have to get in line and stay in line which the first step is you have already gotten. I believe that success is made for those who will not quit, once you got your career choice continue that until you succeed, like me! Ha ha.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Knowledge of Standards or Codes<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I remember when I was interviewed by one of the companies I applied with that was year 2007, actually, that interview was for QA\/QC Engineer position to be deployed in Saudi. One of the questions was &#8220;Do you know ISO standards?&#8221; And &#8220;Do you know what is the standard for Audit?&#8221; So in summary, I was not hired I think because of that questions.<\/p>\n<p>So be ready and have put in mind some of the important standards or codes that you&#8217;d feel might be one question.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Interpersonal and Communication Skills<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Even during our college days until we got our first job we&#8217;ve always been exercising these skills and it&#8217;s just a matter of continuous mingling or associating with other co-employees so that you could develop and enhance interpersonal skills and communications as well, it&#8217;s like balancing your life when it comes to your work.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qualityengineersguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/communicating.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-176 aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/gif,GIF89a%01%00%01%00%80%00%00%00%00%00%FF%FF%FF%21%F9%04%01%00%00%00%00%2C%00%00%00%00%01%00%01%00%00%02%01D%00%3B\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.qualityengineersguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/communicating-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"The Qualifications of a Quality Engineer\" width=\"650\" height=\"405\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In communication skills, this is the number one necessity in our work, our &#8220;English communication skill&#8221;.
