<p>I was wondering if I graduate in December 2011 with a Masters in Electrical Engineering, when should I start looking for a full-time job. I know most companies do full time recruitment for May graduates during the fall and most do intern recruitment during the winter. Where do December graduates fall in this timeline?</p>
<p>Personally, I’d start looking anywhere up to a year before you graduate. This may be overkill, but getting a job is going to be more difficult than it was several years ago. I personally know companies that have given offers 6+ months prior to a student’s graduation, even in this economy. It can’t hurt to start early. If I were you, I’d start looking next spring/summer.</p>
