Just a few years ago, finding an entry-level engineering job was a lot easier than it is now. According to an article from the Shreveport Times, "recruiting and hiring for entry-level degree-earning engineers was at record highs in 2007-08." Unfortunately, that's no longer the case.But that doesn't mean there aren't entry-level engineering jobs. You just need to know how to look for them, and that might mean looking in places you would not have otherwise searched.
According to analysts interviewed for the article, the energy, biomedical and medical instrument industries all remain hot and hiring. Other sectors actively hiring entry-level employees include "energy/power (from utility to alternative energy firms such as wind, solar and battery technology), oil and gas, food/agriculture, government, transportation - where projects are supported by the stimulus package, defense, consulting/contract services, information technology and software development." Electric power and aerospace are both expected to need new employees soon, as their aging workforce prepares for retirement.
Among the tips that the analysts suggest: make sure to have a good internship before you hit the job market; concentrate on your marketing skills, because they'll help you interface with non-engineers; concentrate your job search on health care; and "learn SolidWorks, a 3D computer-aided design program used extensively by engineers and designers."
