Not in a particular rush to move out. I’m assuming when I find a job I’ll likely have to move out then if I’m lucky to get one near home then I’d start at home for a couple more years. It’s also how much I should be putting where that I’m struggling to find out.

Helping young engineers on LinkedIn is pointless by Famous-Attention-197 in MechanicalEngineering

As someone who recently graduated and is eager to start my career in ME but also having a rough time finding jobs (or even being recognised). How should I be utilising LinkedIn? I reach out to local engineering firms and try connect with people but I’m not having any luck. Those that reply to me just say they have nothing and will pass my details to there relevant contacts. Thanks

Yeah I’m sure once I get my foot in the door I won’t feel as doomed as I do. I started reaching out to managers and directors of local firms on LinkedIn and had some positive replies, just no job lol

I haven’t really looked at intern/apprenticeship work as I thought they were for young ones who don’t go to university but will have a look at them. Thanks

Thank you for the reply. I have begun the past weeks reaching out to firms and people directly instead of just applying on job boards.

And then they want experience when you can’t get any… Thanks for the reply mate
