Yeah, the thing is I'm pretty busy and also gonna be out of town until early February so 60+ days will likely push that to early April at best. Not the end of the world but with weddings and summer happening, I originally wanted to get everything done with by June. Oops, I done goofed. 

Okay, so I'll have a pretty slim chance to take it next quarter late May to early June then unless I apply immediately, huh? And even then, it sounds like it could be up to 3 months to get the Authorization to Test. 

I passed the 8 hour portion and have my 2+ years of experience already. If I apply around early February, when can I expect to get the green light to take the seismic and surveying exams?  Do you register for the exams the quarter after you are approved? Basically, I'm hoping to take the exams...

I will look into calling around those times as well as getting myself involved with local communities and alumni.

Well, huh, I was totally unaware of the call to change the Master's requirement. Thanks for the heads up. I guess I will postpone my Master's degree plans indefinitely. Thanks for the heads up to Riverside. I don't have many friends or people that I know around there, but I'll still check it...

Yeah, I figured/knew experience was generally better before but was considering education as an alternative and an in-the-meantime plan. As for the PE requirements, I read somewhere as well as heard from others that by 2020, the PE education requirement will be bumped up to a Master's degree...

Hah, yeah, thanks for the good ol' slap in the face wake up call. I have been looking for internships as well as entry-level positions and I haven't been able to get either, which I guess is why I'm just getting impatient and frustrated with the whole fiasco. Also, for internships, they...

Oh, I guess my idea of internships was that it's a lower-level position compared to an entry-level one with $15/hour for intern and ~$25-30/hour for entry-level. I'd be open to just starting with an internship to get my foot in the door so to speak and to get real relevant experience while I'm...

Yeah, I am totally on board with getting work experience first.. but unfortunately, that's it - I just can't seem to get anything.. which leads me to my current dilemma of deciding whether or not to just take on the Master's to save/make the best use of time or keep job searching and hoping I...

Thank you for your advice and insight on connecting with companies/firms as well as the whole Master's degree decision. Concerning walk-ins, I've read/heard that dropping by in person may be a little awkward and invasive considering the firm might be busy with project work and other stuff...

Southern California is personally at the top of my preferences, but yes, I'd certainly be open to going to Texas - Austin, Dallas, Houston in no such order.

Hello engineerboards community, So it's been a while of job searching and I still haven't been able to land many interviews let alone a job. I managed to get one phone screen interview but there wasn't much of a follow-up so I figured it's a goner. I'm looking for an entry-level...

Yeah, but I updated it and wanted to see if I could get additional feedback.

Hi everyone, I just recently graduated with a BS in Civil Engineering. I'm kinda just chillin' at the moment but I'll be job searching in the near future. That said, I'd like to get my resume polished before I start applying anywhere and everywhere. So established EngineerBoards community, if...

I re-did my resume. Helpful EB people, can you take a look and provide feedback? Thanks! ResumeEB.pdf

Thanks, everybody so much for the help and feedback so far. I'm really learning a lot so please keep 'em coming.
