Community Involvement

One of the things expected by most companies is that their technical professionals are active in the external community. This is often a question in performance reviews or in interviews as you look to move from one company to another. There are many different avenues you may choose. You can serve on community boards, volunteer your time in local schools, become a member of Engineers Without Borders, become active in professional societies. I know it is hard to be a young professional and balance personal life with work life, but I do recommend finding ways to be active outside of your workplace.
