Q: Is it usually really hard to find a job once you've completed engineering studies in a college?
The answer to this question depends on many factors, such as the field of engineering you have studied, the country or region where you seek employment, your individual achievements in school and out of school, the economic climate at the time of graduation, and your self promotion and interviewing skills.
Having said that, there is a lot you can do to improve your prospects of finding a job that meets your objectives. Our experience is that early planning and adherence to good advice on resume preparation and interviewing almost always pay off.
The career center of ASME provides very good advice on job search, including tips for writing an effective resume; the importance of networking; and �ways to get noticed by recruiters�.
Advice on resumes and interviews is also provided by ASM, TARGETjobs, and engineers-international.
Some statistical information on the engineering job market in the United States is provided by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics
Our general estimate is the more than 90% of graduates with bachelor's degrees in the more popular majors (Civil, Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Computer, Aerospace, Chemical and Environmental), who sought employment in developed countries, were employed in their field of study within 6 months of graduation. The picture in developing countries varied from region to region and is harder to generalize. Graduates who sought employment in countries where they were not citizens (or otherwise possessed work permits) usually experienced much longer search periods.
