I wanted to ask for some advice, and maybe even some help if anyone could spare some. I remember seeing a thread on what everyone does for a living and a LOT of people were Engineers, and furthermore, EE or CompE.
I'm a fresh graduate (June 2009) whose freshness is dying out since it's already September and I have no prospective company interested in me yet. My qualifications as far as education should be pretty decent for what the market demands (Master's degree, internships, some work experience, projects), but I'm not getting any attention while trying to get exposure. I think my resume and cover letters are pretty darn good, as I've had a lot of help from experienced people in writing those. I also just temporarily relocated from NJ to silicon valley (currently in San Ramon, CA) in hopes I'd get into the Semiconductor industry at some point. I got a bit more attention, however, I'm still on a steady streak of rejections WITHOUT interviews
. I understand the economy is DISMAL right now, but I have read a lot of reports that graduates in the Engineering field are in the top 5 as far as prospective jobs go.
Anyway, people here seem to be doing well with all of the purchases of 2010 Camaros being made, lol. So my question to you is, do you know of/are you in an industry or market that has more growth and a better outlook for fresh CompE graduates than just Semiconductors? Also, if anyone is in a company where they might be looking for an entry-level or fresh graduate position to fill, if they could PM me and see if I could possibly fit the bill. Sorry for the long post, and thanks for the advice in advance.
