why it is so hard and competitive to get an engineer job?university is not helpful?

<p>When you get to university, first thing you should do is visit the career center. Make sure you know how to write a resume properly and learn networking techniques. Next join a club that gives you hands on experience building something that you can talk about with recruiters. </p>

<p>It’s not just your degree, you have to learn skills you won’t get out of a book. There are some tips and tricks that the career center will show you that will help out tremendously. I am in the same boat, EE major, first year at university from community college. I have received a ton of info just this week on how to market myself. Everyone has their own unique situation so take others with a grain of salt.</p>
