Engineering Graduate
2005-02-08 - I graduated last year with a degree in engineering. My excitement was soon tamped by a complete lack of response to my countless resumes I sent out to every job opening in sight. Some of these openings did not ask for much experience. Pretty soon I was discouraged at what I found. There was no interest in what I had to offer, so after waiting for nearly six months, I took a job at my local Coffee shop. Then a friend pointed out to me this new book, "Pathways to Career Nirvana." After reading the first two chapters in Pathways, I soon realized that my whole approach, including my resume, was all wrong. My resume was too focused on my college life and achievements that were somewhat irrelevant to the practical experience the market was really looking for. So, using one of the samples in the book (before and after) I was able to redo my resume. Amazingly, I got two calls in the first month. This book also shows you why going from getting a degree to landing a first job is one of the biggest and most challenging transitions in life. I never thought of it that way before. This book has sparked a new flame of excitement in my life to get going on my career path. I feel encouraged again!
