- Harold In Control… of his sailboat
I am a Professional Electrical Controls Engineer. I have been doing controls work now for some 25 years so I’ve built up a pretty good base of people, project, and technology skills in executing controls projects. As of 11/15/2010 I am working for Control Assemblies in the Minneapolis area.
I love to be a part of making an idea do something useful whether it’s making cookies, Post-It Notes, or upgrading grain elevators.
Controls Engineering and related topics is what I have been blogging about. The reason: to connect with potential clients and engineers on various topics that come to mind. I’m also just trying to figure this social networking thing out.
One thing I’ve found useful in blogging is that I can refer clients and colleagues to my posts when one of the topics I’ve already blogged about comes up. It helps in furthering our discussion and often gives me additional input.
For information about my professional credentials see my LinkedIn site at http://www.linkedIn.com/In/HaroldEnnulat .
On a personal note: I’m married to my first wife of over 20 years, and we have one child now attending college. I’m a Christian man working to live out his faith. I enjoy philosophic discussions, music performance, sailing, good coffee, and nature walks among other things.

Thank you sir. You are like a guru for me. Control engineer is my passion. I have graduated as an electronic engineer and still to start my professional career. sometimes I fear that this harsh conditions may compel me to switch field and then I may loss my field. What would you suggest me to make sure that I am secured as long as I am jobless. and thanks for sharing so many useful information related to my field.

Many engineers who start in controls end up doing other things by the time their career is ending.
My advise is to keep your skills up to increase your value as you seek employment. Many companies offer free stuff for people out of work I’ve noticed. I was recently out of work and got a free copy of AutoCAD electrical and Wonderware programs to work with.
Consider doing jobs at a discount if you see opportunities that may not be suitable for the long term. Network and meet with people in the field in your area. I see you are doing the social networking thing already, perhaps focus this on your passion area and work to build your own “professional brand”.
