    How to prepare and search for your first job (dos and do nots)

    Melone, That's because between high school and college I had like a few months to consider what college and program to apply to, not to mention I was a kid. Since graduation, I've had to think of neither school nor work, and for the first time I've had the time to explore what I truly might...

    How to prepare and search for your first job (dos and do nots)

    "Anyway, good luck, would be nice if you updated this list on what you're doing and how it's working." - SLH I will certainly do so. I'd like to keep getting feedback (and give out information based on my own experiences too to the eng-tips community). Though I've been researching the Visual...

    How to prepare and search for your first job (dos and do nots)

    "If you want to develop advanced turbo engines you will need a PHd. With a MS you will most likely be doing general design (change orders, CAD drafting, manufacturing or quality support) stuff like I have. Most advanced R&D work in these types of companies requires a PHd." For R&D you need a...

    How to prepare and search for your first job (dos and do nots)

    THanx for the advice SLH. Honestly, yes I did get a few interviews, inlucindg by phone, on-campus and on-site. But they were very few and far in between. The other thing I wanted to ask about is what you touched upon SLH. It's not just how to prepare, but what's the best way to find jobs. I...

    Naive an immature? lol I did not go through 6 years of hell to just get any engineering job my friend. I studied aerospace propulsion to get a job in aerospace propulsion designing and analysing aerospace propulsion systems. That is what keeps me going, my interest in aerospace propulsion. I...

    How to prepare and search for your first job (dos and do nots)

    Yes, working with any propulsion company would be a dream. It's what I studied, it's what I want to do. (although my hobbies in 3D animation and VFX have made me realize I love that stuff a lot too). The problem is there is like a dozen engine manufacturers on the entire planet. So while like...

    How to prepare and search for your first job (dos and do nots)

    Thanx for the encouraging words ;) lol 10 days off? Where did you get that? Ok, so it's hard to get your dream job right off the bat. Well then, what's the best way to get it? Logically you'd want jobs that are related so that your experience can count. I mean, I dont think 10 years in...

    Greetings all, this is my first post. I've been looking for an engineering forum forever, glad I finally found one, dont know how I missed this. I in fact created my own forum, though it's so hard to start online communities these days that I gave up in the end. Anyways, a bit of background to...
