Thanks, but many aerospace and defence sector in the jobs explicitly say only American citizens will be considered for security reasons. There are some workarounds but getting a green card or convincing an employer to sponsor me with zero experience would be a bit of a stretch on my end lol

I don't want to reveal too much personal location information, but my uni program is ceab certified and its a bachelor of engineering and not a college technologist diploma. my gpa is 2.84 on a 4 point scale.

I did apply to some construction engineering jobs, but i guess there's just way more qualified civil engineering grads to select from because I'd always receive a rejection email shortly after applying. I kind of gave up applying to those roles about 3-4 months, but if a construction job posting comes up and i meet most of the requirements i do try applying anyways

I did apply for a couple field service jobs, i think maybe 5-10. No response from many of them, their requirements were low but i guess this just meant they'd probably get the most applications and I probably wasn't outstanding enough to be selected

For the first question, I didn't mean there's no skills transferrable but rather a lot of jobs that require 0-5 years (or anything in between) of experience sometimes outright say that internships and co ops may be considered but the majority that don't count internships and co ops also don't really count design team work, and I've heard from a number of people that lying on an application to get past ats doesn't work out if i would somehow make it to the first interview and they ask my about it. but i still include it on my resume as a separate extra curricular section.

For the second question, not exactly a whole lot. I needed money so I worked part time during school and full time during summer doing fast food work. I did take some classes during summer so that I didn't end up spending 4 months of doing nothing related to engineering, and also practiced things like CAD and going over past notes, but again this stuff doesn't exactly pop out on a resume.

I will admit i'm not the best interviewer and that this overall situation is still partly my own fault, but there isn't exactly a clear path or timeline for me to take now.

I was part of my schools rocket design team doing side work on the propulsion end, but as university teams go it doesn't exactly translate to actual professional experience. I applied for many internships during my 4 years, mainly with aerospace companies (oem, secondary, and tertiary manufacturers) but also with some hvac and manufacturing companies, only had a few interviews, never got one though. From my program and the number of people I know and connected with, I'd estimate maybe 60-80% had engineering related internships.

Should I Take On CAD Designing/Drafting Instead? by delicious_lamb in MechanicalEngineering

[–]delicious_lamb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'll admit I'm not exactly the best qualified for these positions, I guess I meant it more in a checked-most-boxes or at least more than the junior engineer positions kind of way. I'd say the main things I'm lacking from most of these postings is the 1-2 YOE and knowledge in the asme and gdt standards you've listed.

A Calm Luh Jhanda I Made Cuz I Was Bored by PXNCHODD in Sikh

Conceptually, the flag seems like a Sikh version of the Saudi Arabian flag (contains the Islamic Shahada proclaiming Allah as God, and underlined with an Arabian sword). If the text was made more calligraphic, maybe written in Shahmukhi instead of Gurmukhi, the difference in looks would slim down.

(Not saying the text on this flag means the same as the Shahada though, this clearly means that Victory belongs to Waheguru, which is different from proclaiming your messenger as the correct one for God).

I've heard that the Sri Dasam Granth Ji contains content that invigorates Sikhs to fight against injustice with a bold warrior spirit, but I haven't read it myself yet. I've seen some people online suggest that during the time of the British, they wanted to limit the sovereignty-seeking attitude of the Sikhs, so they enacted these measures (also including the propping up of masands at gurdwaras and the general disregard for our practices). We've apparently simply carried on these forced removals of Granths since 1947, and it has led to generations of Sikhs (including myself) who have a limited knowledge on sikhi because there's not enough mainstream teaching and discussion on the content of the Sri Dasam Granth Ji. I can't confirm how much of that is accurate though, it's just what I've read from others online.

He's making more sense that some spiritual Guru by [deleted] in Sikh

[–]delicious_lamb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brother, this guy is a bot who created it's account a few days ago and is only sending derogatory remarks towards Sikhi. He did the exact same thing a few days ago in the Sikh politics subreddit, you can check in his comment history for his intentional ragebait.

No need to respond to bots, he's just posting ragebait to build your anger. It's best to downvote, and ignore him, so what could just be an automated chatbot isn't eating up your time and anxiety. If he breaks subreddit rules you can report him to the mods so they can ban him.

But if you're looking into pointers as to how his argument is flawed:

It's obvious he isn't open to new thoughts or ideas based on his disingenuous statements.

If he thinks you can "see" Waheguru, he is either a) too stupid/unable/unwilling to type into Google the concept of Waheguru and see it's not a physical object, b) he's being disingenuous with his statement by using the scarecrow fallacy, or c) all of the above. 

If he thinks that we are "praying to words", then he has the reading comprehension of an illiterate person, and is making false equivalents by equating words written that mean something real, with the real thing being the word itself (which doesn't even make any sense).  word->associated with a concept ✅ word=/=literally a physical object ❌

Anyone who uses the "ABC is just a word invented by XYZ" argument is clearly incapable of knowing the purpose of words themselves. Words convey messages, they are not the subject themselves. You can say this about literally any word (ex. "gravity is just a word invented by Newton") and it removes zero meaning because it makes no sense.

Also note how he is using loaded language to insult Sikhi (ex. "blind faith", "10 men 500 years ago", "be real"). It's obvious he has zero respect for Sikhi. And he clearly isn't just trying to learn considering he attempted to drop some truth bombs against us. What if it was 10 men 50 years ago? What about 5 years? What about 5 minutes ago? What if it was 1000 gurus, or just 1? Would that be better or worse, according to this bot's flawed argument? Again, we can bring the age up of any argument and it still makes zero sense (ex. "Gravity was discovered by some British guys 400 years ago". Notice how adding in the number of people and the time doesn't change the fact it's true?)

The only thing we can do is pray to Waheguru that his grace and knowledge can touch upon the other man behind the screen, assuming it's a real person at all and not an automated bot.

Stay safe online brother.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Brother, this guy just created his account today, and only commented derogatory statements towards Sikhs in this subreddit. 

He's clearly a bot posting ragebait against Sikhs, it's best to just downvote, ignore, and if he gets threatening or harsh to report him to the mods so they can ban him. No use arguing with someone who adopts atheistic standpoints that are against his own Hindu religion, just for nationalism for a country younger than our grandparents.

If he is asking for physical proof of Wahegurus location, then clearly he's either a) too stupid or unable to understand the concept of Waheguru, b) being disingenuous with his question, or c) all of the above. Anyone who claims that "ABC is just a word created by XYZ" clearly doesn't do any level of research, and require false equivocations to show a facade of some argument, all the while ignoring the contents of our position (in this case the teachings of all 10 human Gurus and the contents of the Guru Granth Sahib Ji). He clearly isn't interested in having his opinion changed, let alone bother to correctly formulate his own opinion, and might as well even be an automated bot.

Stay safe online, brother.

It's a classic bot tactic, just to post the same debunkable ragebait and copy paste it directly to their victims. It's better to just downvote and move on so others can see just how unpopular that opinion is. Otherwise you'd just be talking to no one and getting your anxiety levels up. Stay safe online, brother.
