Thank you for your response. I actually thought about joining the military and if I were to join, would very much like to be in a similar position as you, a civilian engineer. Thank you for the suggestion and I will look into it more and keep you guys updated. This week has been pretty busy for...

So far I've tried to go door to door to about 20 different companies both located in San Francisco and in Oakland. I was able to talk to a few Vice Presidents and senior engineers and actually had some good conversation with these people. I've handed them my resume and followed up with a thank...

Update Time! On Monday, my original plan was to just visit one company and see what would happen. I visited GHD and unfortunately the regional office manager was in a meeting (or so the receptionist said). She gave me a contact info for the HR (which I've been trying to call, leaving...

Just wanted to give an update and had a question. This Wednesday, I will be attending the member orientation for the Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco. This may sound like a silly question and if it is, my aplogies. Should I dress up in a suit when I attend this orientation or just slacks...

Thank you all for taking your time and responding. I appreciate all the feedback and will apply it in my job search. My GPA is under <3.0 so I feel like that will only hurt my chances of getting a job. As many of you suggested, my next step is to get more involved in my community and just put...
