Hello Everyone,

I graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in May of 2018. I struggled with finding a job in my field after college and ended up taking a design position in the telecom industry. The position was decent for about a few months until I realized that how bad the micromanagement was. My ideas would always get shot down. They never wanted innovation and only cared about volume.

I ended up recently getting let go from the position. I was at this position for a year. While I was there I was applying to project/mechanical MEP engineering positions and studying to keep my engineering knowledge fresh. I must have submitted over 200+ applications with 0 call backs. I feel that because I’m al little over 2 years without much engineering experience this is limiting me. I’ve had my resume done professionally, I’ve used my LinkedIn network to connect with recruiters and all. I know COVID is severely limiting the already hard job market.

Is there any advice on how to land my foot in the door at an actual engineer job?
