For all the Engineers looking for work...Are you guys looking to stay in the city you are in???? Because I know for a fact that there are tons of Civil, and EE needed throughout the country. It man not be your ideal location but it get you the experince you need. Being an engineer its all about experience. The job may not be exactly what you want or where you want but you gain the experience and can go where you want down the road. I am from Denver, and took a job in Louisiana(worst job ever), but I gained the experienced I needed and when it came job hunting time I was able to go pretty much any where. So just keep looking, but I know there are EE jobs out thereOriginally Posted by memphissfinest

I'M AN ELECTRICAL ENGINEER AND THERE ARE TONS OF JOBS OUT THERE IF YOU EXPAND YOUR SEARCH NATIONWIDE WHICH IS WHAT I DID WHEN I GRADUATED. TOO MANY PEOPLE LOOKING TO BE IN "FUN" CITIES OR NOT MOVE FROM HOME BUT YOU ARE LIMITING YOURSELF THAT WAY. I ENDED UP FINDING ONE IN AKRON, OH, A PLACE I NEVER HEARD OF UNTIL GETTING THE JOB BUT THE PAY IS GREAT AND STANDARD OF LIVING IS CHEAP. HELL, I WOULD OF TAKEN A JOB IN ALASKA IF I HAD TO....
i have to admit i haven't really nationalized the job search as much as you'd think...i applied in cali a few times, but yea i have been limiting myself to the northeast...
pa, del, ct, ma, vt, nh. im from nyc but im not even gonna bother searching hard there...most of that is outside nyc. (nyc would be nice cuz i can live at home for a little while, stack paper, and gain that experience.) im reluctant to take a job ANYwhere (like omaha nebraska, or some middle of nowhere alabama town where people still on that jim crow steez).
i just talked to my friend who's been out of work for almost a yr from graduation. he had a few interviews, almost made RF engineer for ATT, but fell thru. he said the only bad thing i can do is give up. keep grinding on the job hunt, otherwise itll all be for nothing.
the job hunt gets old real quick tho
