How many of you are Professionally Registered?

It would be great for others to read about how you found the process, what the benefits are, what you feel could improve the process and what difference it has made to your career!

Also, what advice would you give to somebody thinking of becoming Professionally Registered and what words of encouragement would you give to them?

    I've been professionally registered for quite some time now. I was lucky enough to be taken on by a government organisation on graduation which had a registered training scheme. They insisted we keep our logbooks up to date so when the time came to apply it was fairly straight forward. I also found the interview fairly easy because having ended up in a software related job my interviewers knew a lot less than me so this helped with my confidence.


    In terms of my career I'm not sure how much it has helped. I do think when I've had to send out CVs and apply for jobs then having CEng after my name adds a certain something and shows you are a "proper" engineer. I also know my chartered status is emphasised by my company when we bid for jobs, especially abroad.
