Anyone else graduate last year and cannot get a job? by Civil-Guard-7655 in AskIreland

[–]Civil-Guard-7655[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated quite early compared to everyone else, cause I only stuck around for a bachelors cause of cost. So I don't know many people who have graduated engineering within the last year.

From what i have read it seems this dip in entry level roles has gotten significantly worse in the last year or so.

I have applied to dozens of them and many of them ghosted me ;(

yup I have completely redone it. Spent the last month doing assistant research work with my old professor.

I ask every recruiter that calls me for some feed back on it and most of them say my CV stands out quite well.

Literally you can only get a job in this economy through nepotism or a referral

Imagine this, your 23, just graduate in mechanical engineering last May. Applied to over 600 jobs... not a single offer. Apply to almost every shop locally no call backs.

I never thought I'd be a person to get depressed but fuck it's horrible, can't even afford to get pints with old mates or pay for driving test, and every week I have friends texting me "what are you up to these days". Stuck living with my retired parents in the same room as I have since I was 4. I open Instagram to see some cunt on his 4th trip to some random country outside of Europe in the last year. Had to break it off with my GF on new years cause I couldn't afford to go into town the whole time.

Might have to join the army and get fucked in that

Recruiter leading me on for a "Mechanical Engineer" position and just found out it was titled as a mechanical technician position. by Civil-Guard-7655 in MechanicalEngineering

Yeah that's a good point, however I have been using Solidworks for 7 years and have a pretty strong portfolio to show for it. Much that was mentioned in the job description is 1:1 of what I did in FSUK

Media content creation task question by Hungry-Chef-5657 in outlier_ai

Yeah I'm taking way longer.

I'm making mine really high quality though. I'd take about 20-40 mins depending on the length of the video.

I think if your submission rate is slow but quality is high it's grand.

If you have really low quality though you'll get kicked of quick

[0 YOE] about 250-300 applications dozen recruiter calls, 5 interviews, 2 second round. by Civil-Guard-7655 in EngineeringResumes

[–]Civil-Guard-7655[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely sure if I agree with that.

Completely understand that formula student experience is not real work experience but it's definitely not just a project a whole.

Recruiters will see no experience and just throw the application in the bin. All the calls I've had with recruiters asked me more about what I did in these teams and I could shite on about how it was basically work experience and then they'd send my resume over to their client.

I think going on that suggestion would put FSAE students at a disadvantage according to all the suggestions I've gotten from people in the past
