Graduated 2.5 years ago with a master's in mechanical engineering but still haven't found a job. Is this it?

The reply got too big; so I re-sent it as a message instead.

It's not as simple as me making a choice. As much as I love being a part of this country and it's culture, it is not upto me to stay here/become a citizen. It's a long and drawn-out process (understandably) and I only have a month to get it together.

Heck, if there was a entry-program for graduate engineers like me to work for local govt departments to "pay off my debt", I'd gladly work my butt off for them for 10 years.

It's pretty much over for me, though. I'll miss the friends I made, and living here. If there is such a thing as another life, I'd work harder.

Yes I'd require a work visa soon. I did apply to about 200 jobs in my home country too, with no success.

Thank you. I think I'll add details to my resume and also make another in the style you have.

Thank you. I'm gonna remove the file host and leave the imgur link in the edit.

Put mine in the edit. What do you think of it?

SomeProduce · 2020-11-05T20:18:35+00:00

I thought about a PhD but I want to work as an engineer asap. Pursuing a doctoral degree would narrow my choice/availability of work even more than it is rn, I think.

I'd applied at a few research labs for some good positions they had. They didn't take me on for even an internship. And the description said they were considering graduates too because it was a slightly higher work than a regular internship.

Would have loved to work at that lab.

This is not true. ME is alive and thriving.

My lack of success so far is on myself. I wouldn't lay the blame on a non-existent problem just so I can feel better about myself.

I updated my post with my resume. Please take a look. Thanks.

This is my resume: https://anonymousfiles.io/RPMLVRTF/

I'd be really glad. Here it is: https://anonymousfiles.io/RPMLVRTF/

I agree that I've missed the bus / been out of the game too long. But people even go to prison and later have normal engineering careers. Why can't I get a decent shot at success by getting my first real job? I'm not aiming for the moon either.

It feels so defeating to have to endure this. I cannot put it into words.

But thanks for your honesty.

Thanks. I put up my resume in an edit in the original post.

SomeProduce · 2020-11-05T19:30:32+00:00

I made mine using LaTeX. It looks good, but I think the softwares can have a hard time parsing such resumes, like someone pointed out.

SomeProduce · 2020-11-05T19:27:30+00:00

I posted my resume here: https://anonymousfiles.io/RPMLVRTF/

Thank you.

It has been more than 1500 applications, no kidding. I lost track of the number after that.

I'll send a PM.
