"My name's Alex and I am an entry level engineer at Weber Elliot Engineers in Eugene, Oregon. And I'm going to tell you about how I got my first job as an entry level engineer. And you're only ever entry level engineer once so this is also my first job this way. The story I have is probably a little unique. I got a math degree at the University of Oregon and instead of going straight into an engineering internship I went and got a lot of other work experience. I worked with youth, I worked in an office and I worked in retail. All these different things and built up my resume for a couple of years. And then decided that engineering was something I'd be interested in so I pulled together my resume and basically sat down and telephoned a whole bunch of engineering firms in town and just asked them directly if they had internships and in this manner I men Jerry over the phone and Jerry, who co-owns this company actually had need of any intern. He hadn't even advertised the position but I got lucky and he said sure send me your resume. I emailed him my resume and he looked at my resume. He called my back, he set up an interview and the interview went well so I got the job. And so that's my story. That's how I got my first job."

on 8/18/2009 Well, good for you. I earned an engineering degree, had a great resume written, called 25 employers, and all of them said they don't need and entry level engineer or drafter. They all said they don't even need a volunteer because they didn't have enough work for their own employees. So, what do you do when you've called 25 engineering firms, applied with 6 staffing agencies, notified all 30 of your college friends, all 8 of your college professors, and applied for 40 jobs online? What do you do?
You got lucky, buddy. Some of us are still struggling to find a job in August 2009.
