I graduated from college in may, still looking for a "real" job, just curious if anyone here is one. What are some good companies to apply at? I don't mind moving. I think I've applied everywhere in the area (at least companies I found online using Google)
Thanks!
I am an EE but I don't have my ear to the market. I worked in the field for 6 years building Nuk's for the gov't and left to run an insurance office. I hope something good comes along for you soon.
EMD here in Wichita Falls, Texas has a fleet of EE's..so there is always a place to look.
I am an EE student and have been looking up places. Check military bases and manufacturing companies such as lockheed and martin or boeing.
EE here too, but I haven't been in the field since 9/11....I hung around for a few more months afterwards when the SemiConductor industry's bottom fell out in Austin TX. Been building cars and trucks ever since....
I know one EE and he installs alarms systems occasionally. Real smart eccentric guy. Also has a degree in biology and something else.
I learned enough about electronics in the army to know it is beyond my ability. Good Luck with a job. Military bases and maybe some airline companys for the avionics side.
I see you're in IL, how close to Edwardsport, IN? Reason being, I've worked for Duke Energy the past 2 summers (I'm a Power Engineer), and they're building a new IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) power plant there. I'm sure they'll be looking for engineering positions soon if not now. My brother is also a power engineer working for Bechtel as a Startup Electrical Engineer constructing power plants and is currently on a project in Oak Creek, WI. Anyways, the power industry is a great one to be in right now, so if you're interested I'd check that out... Good luck!
Should have been.
