I just graduated last friday w/ civil engineering degree. I have submitted my resume to many comapnies but nothing. Any ideas where I can apply or what to do.
What form of civil? Geotech, structural, general civil, water resources, environmental? Congratulations on graduation!I just graduated last friday w/ civil engineering degree. I have submitted my resume to many comapnies but nothing. Any ideas where I can apply or what to do.
India, China... where would you like to be outsourced to?I would prefer structural but I would do anything.
^^ That's true... I was joking. There are jobs to be had out there if you are willing to relocate. Are you looking for a geographic region? B.S. and/or M.S.? Bridges, buildings? Any thoughts?Don't let these guys get you down, most of them are joking anyway. What State/city are you in?
As long as you are open to relocating, and you went to a real Engineering School you can find a job.
A lot of smaller firms out West post jobs on Craiglist this might be a good way to get your foot in the door.
Just take out the personal information from the resume and post it here for review. I am sure you will get a lot of valuable feedback. If you are uncomfortable doing that then start messaging your resume to everyone on the board!! Someone will reply, maybe. j/k.I am currently in CA, but i dont mind moving to any part of the US. I graduated with my BS and I am waiting on my results for my EIT. But i am going to look into craigslist maybe i find something there. Maybe one of you can help me review my resume and help me with my chances of getting a job.
This is just my opinion, having seem literally thousands of resumes within the last few years. Not everybody agrees with what should and should not be on a resume, so take my advice with a grain of salt.any ideas for my resume

Even if you send a cover letter, I would still customize the objective. Sometimes the cover letter doesn't get passed along to everybody within the company. If your objective matches their open position, believe me, that goes a long way towards getting the job.When I was applying to multiple firms, I had my general resume, but would include a customized cover letter for each company. That way, I could show that I had done some research on the company (mention specific projects that the company has worked on that interest you). I also could expound a little more on my career objectives and interests.
