bros....I just finished last fall with a BSCE. I have no idea what to do now, can't seem to land any interviews and I regret not finding an internship in school. Still need to pass the FE exam which I plan on taking soon (they did switch up the FE exam which is now computer based and is offered throughout the year instead of only twice).
My question is, with no "job experience", how can one still look appealing on a resume? :x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
I'm not sure what your resume looks like, but one of the things I look for from people fresh out of college with limited experience is how much their educational experience can relate to the job description. I would suggest tailoring your resume to the job description of the posting you're applying for. Class projects and courses that fall within the description would be good to throw in there. Major projects such as a senior project is also great. I think I had about 4 different resumes that I would work off of and tweak based on the type of position I applied for. Also, at the end of the resume, feel free to throw some activities you do, have done, or have been a part of.
I'm a Civil Engineer for the State of CA. My main focus is primarily wastewater. I'm an NPDES regulatory case manager for treatment plants and collection systems over 6 counties in central CA. Job description includes review of self-monitoring reports, technical groundwater reports, and permit compliance. I'm out doing inspection/audits 2-3 times a month so it breaks up my office hours a bit.thanks for the response man. I mostly have the notable courses I took, a few extra curricular things, and my part time job experience which was in retail. I think I'm going to add in my senior design project. May I also ask what it is that you do and what field of engineering? Thanks bro
Try to get an internship somewhere now to get your foot in the door. Also, take the FE while in school. It makes it a bit easier, especially around that third year or so. I passed mine a few months after i graduated and i wish i would have taken it sooner. Taking the PE this year so trying to get back on that school grind.
this semester I'm taking statics,thermo,physics 3, and a shop class basically, i can't wait to get out of my CC (ncc) and get that BA, i know I'm going to do good on the interviews, i try to talk to these od antisocial nerds but they kinda have a disorder when it comes to talking to other ppl idk how they gonna do it they think a 4.0 is going to get them a job. i have positive thoughts about after graduating esp bc I'm going to study vigorously for the FE then PE this has truly become a life goal for me to pass that PE. idc if I'm broke if i get that PE license i will feel so good lol. Good luck to all those taking classes this spring
Congrats! Glad to see you're doing well.
I'm taking the new FE in the fall. I heard it's a little easier now since it's computer based. It's easier to navigate the equations book that they give you.whats up fam? anybody take the new FE exam for the EIT? (CBT format). need to take and pass that asap. was wondering how it is now that it is computer based. also, any Pennsylvania heads in the thread? Might move up there and was wondering what the job market is like up there compared to the west coast.
