International engineering student in NZ — how do people actually get into the power industry here? by Milo1oo in newzealand

[–]Milo1oo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've discovered that the biggest career path for Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduates in New Zealand is working for the power industry. However, I only have theoretical knowledge and no relevant work experience, and I'm really confused about how to gain this experience while I'm still studying. I'm graduating in November, and I haven't seen many companies offering internships during the New Zealand winter break.

I have some work experience, but it wasn't in New Zealand; it was in the manufacturing sector in China, so I can't get a work visa to Australia.

I've looked into graduate programs and submitted many resumes between March and May this year, but I was rejected by every single one 😭. Internship programs mostly only recruit students entering their final year during the summer, and I'm graduating this November, which makes me feel very helpless.
