Been having no luck with landing a job after graduation. I had a 6 month internship before graduating at a large company, but since I was a contractor I was allowed to call myself a project engineering. Been looking for a long time now but graduated in June (traveled for a month.)
Have a BS in physics and MS in mechanical engineering. I've been hitting up my friends, they are passing my resume along but my grades were fairly average (3.2 or so.) I've gone to many networking events and job fairs over the last 2-3 years as well, only in the last year of grad school did I land a position. Meanwhile every single I person I know has a job now. I've been eyeing company fairs, local/national groups of engineers who have meetings nearby etc.
Seems like I've done everything right and cannot gain traction. Guess I'll keep pushing, but my student debt is sneaking up on me.
