Not everyone finds joy in communicating in front of a crowd or pursuing emotionally rich jobs. Some people instead bring out their strengths through logical thinking, practical ability and meticulousness in every detail. These are also the outstanding characteristics of the Engineering – Technology (Realistic – R) personality group according to Holland theory.

Let’s decode the Engineering (Realistic) personality group and find the perfect career roadmap that helps you make the most of your “say little, do much” strength.

Do you belong to the powerful “backline”?

People in the Engineering group usually have the personality traits:

• Preferring action to talking too much

• Interested in machines, technology, systems
• Liking to learn how everything works
• Tending to solve problems in a practical way
• Working carefully, paying attention to detail
• Persevering with tasks that need time and high precision

Many people in the R group are not too prominent in “noisy” activities, but have a very good ability to concentrate when working with technology, data, engineering or systematic tasks. Besides, people in the Engineering – Technology group often love subjects such as Mathematics, Informatics, Physics, Technology, STEM or are interested in practical and logical activities.

More interestingly, under the impact of AI and digital transformation, today’s Engineering group has gone beyond the prejudice of “machine repairers” or “IT folk toiling away writing code” to become a diverse career ecosystem.

The market overview: When the “silent heroes” rise to the throne

Currently, the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation has completely changed the career landscape. Although soft skills still play an important role, today’s labour market is “thirsty” for personnel with systematic thinking and the ability to work independently with data and smart devices.

In reality, in Vietnam and the world, enterprises are ready to pay thousand-dollar salaries for engineers operating smart devices, software engineers, network-security experts or data analysts – people who can sit for hours in front of a computer screen solving complex algorithms without needing any praise. Your value in the modern economy is measured by the work results and solutions you create.

Potential professions

Faced with those wide-open opportunities, if you determine that you possess the strengths of the Engineering personality group, below are the “golden lands” for you to roam freely:

• Technology & Data: Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Software Engineering, Data Science, Network Security
• Operations & Systems: E-commerce, Logistics & system operation, Automation, Electrical – Electronic Engineering, Engineering Design
• Modern Engineering: Automotive Technology, Semiconductor Technology, Fintech (Financial Technology)

The common point of these fields is that they always need people with logical thinking, who like to learn through practice and constantly update new technology.

Choosing a direction for the future

The common point of these professions is that they require high practicality and sharpness with new technology. To meet those demanding requirements, choosing the right training environment is a key stepping stone.
