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

<p>I second (or third?) the advice to use the career center at your university. They should be able to assist with resume writing, mock interviews, internship contacts and possibly host recruiting fairs. They should also have stats on internships and hiring that you may find helpful.
At my D2’s engr. school, they have great resources and host three job fairs each year. 90% of kids have at least one paid internship or co-op before they graduate. And 93% of the class of 2012 had jobs landed (or were committed to grad school or military) before they graduated. D2 started attending the fairs last year as a freshman as all are encouraged to start networking and practicing their skills. She hopes to land an internship this summer.</p>
