Hi all,
I'm from Argentina, and I'm currently needing some kind of advice over a possible job opportunity that I would have soon.
I am an Electronic Engineer, I graduated on 2008 and have been working for 3 years at the global leader telecomunications vendor, as a Support Engineer for the 3G WRAN Access Network. The main concern is that the telecomunications market really doesn´t motivates me technically, and because of this I am looking forward to make a change in my career.
The fact is that last week I applied for a Junior Sales Engineer Position at Rockwell Automation. They called me, and programed an interview with the human resources department. They described me the position, told me that there will be a strong 6 months training at Rockwell's headquarters in Milwaukee. They told me too that the work would be to stay all the day visiting clients and with an asignation to relocate on 6 possible main cities of Argentina. The position itself really interested me, but I have a lot of doubts if this is the job I really want. I mean, I'm sure that technically speaking, I like much more the automation market rather than the telecomunications one. But this position would mix a comercial aspect with technical part, and I have been never exposed to a comercial enviroment, so I don't know what to do if I advance on this position.
Anyway, ther is still pending an interview with the sales manager, so I can clean more questions there, but I would really appreciate any advice or experience which you would give me, in order to have a better approach to a sales engineer position on the automation market.
The other aspect that makes me doubt is that if a sales engineer is a lonley job, since I imagine it as a person who goes alone to clients.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
