Contact the school you graduated from.  Almost every school has a Career Center/Career Resource Center, and they offer services to graduates, too.  You should be able to work with them to update your resume, look through job postings and get some pointers on the current job market.  \n\nGood luck, hope it helps!

In the Education section of your resume, you could write the date of the expected graduation, which indicates to the employer that you are still working on your degree and have not graduated yet! As simple as that! Example:\n\nXYZ University                              City, State\nMBA in Marketing\nExpected Graduation: 1234\n\nHope this helps!

http://www.petersons.com/GradChannel/code/search.asp?path=gr.fas.grad\n\nyou can choose your major, what type of degree you are looking for, and a list of colleges will be listed as per your search. there is program description on the respective universities, as well as information on how to apply to them. you may need to register to get to this page, but it doesn't cost anything.  industrial engr is a pretty wide field, and you can go into different branches like Six Sigma  (Manufacturing), Human Factors, Industrial Management, plant layout, etc. Thats why you have to look at the individual universities to see what their program has to offer. Its a hot field right now, and job prospects are pretty good.

Hmm, CV can't be that fine, otherwise he would at least have been asked for interview.  OK...\n\nStep 1 - does his degree tie up with the sort of jobs he is applying for?  Perhaps a bit more detail about the subject types covered in his degree might flesh out the CV a bit?\n\nStep 2 - sign up with a recruitment agency - for engineering jobs, his best bet is Beechwood (www.beechwoodrecruit.com) and Redwood (www.redhotjobs.com) - these guys advertise in all editions of The Engineer.\n\nStep 3 - is he getting copies of the trade presses?  You can see The Engineer at www.theengineer.co.uk, they have their own job site at theengineerjobs.co.uk.  Also the Electronics Weekly might be worth a look - www.electronicsweekly.com and www.electronicsweekly.com / careermoves for their job section.\n\nStep 4 - consider some voluntary work if possible that adds to your experience - it makes a CV look like you haven't just been hanging around, waiting for something to happen.\n\nGood luck!

You should probably ask "When *WAS* the graduation-- the class of 2004/2005 would have graduated by now, as this is 2006.

If your college has a placement office, check with them or find a local employment office and check there. If its been five years, I'd be looking at my process. Does your resume need some fixes? Is there something in your interviewing style that is getting in your way? If you have a friend that hires people for a company, ask them to look over your resume and run a mock interview with you to check what tips they might give you.\n\nAlso look at the level of job you've been applying for. Are you picking positions that truly match your education and experience? Can you get more experience by volunteering with a local not for profit agency?\n\nI hope any or all of this helps you. Good luck!

You cannot change the fact that you don't have any previous work experience in engineering.  However, consider any volunteering you have done, as well as any special projects or work terms you did while studying that might apply to the job in question.  If you have any such experiences that would apply make sure to highlight them in your resume and find a way to mention them in the interview.  You might also want to focus on factors such as your good work ethic, your willingness to learn, your flexibility, your teamwork skills, etc. in your job interview.  Before the interview make a list of all the skills you have that you think would be a benefit to the employer and find a way to highlight them in the interview.  Research the company interviewing you, and make sure you let the interviewer know that you have taken the time to learn about the company.  Learn everything you can about the particular position you are applying for, and what the expectations might be.  If possible talk to people you know who are doing similar jobs and get pointers from them.\n\nEveryone had to be a beginner at one time, and companies realize this.  Emphasize your good characteristics.  Good luck with interviews!!

What are your qualifications?  Start hitting the proverbial pavement and look at newspapers, websites, job fairs, and magazines targeted at the industry you want to work in.  I looked for over 18 months before I found my job, and I made sure that I wasn't hired on a specific contract, but with the company itself.  Good luck!!

That is a difficult situation to be in, but not impossible.  The first thing to do is get a resume together that highlights your education and skills.  Next, I would get registered with employment services in the area - you will have to fill out some paperwork and do NOT lie about your mistake.  They will tell you right away if they can help you or not.  Then, put your resume online at Hotjobs or Monster or something like that to see if that helps.  You should probably also go to the local Uemployment Office and ask if there are any programs to help people find work; lots of times there are and they will work with you to get employed.  Finally, remember that many times, it is not what you know, but who you know.  Be friendly and do not burn any bridges.  Someone out there who knows you will be more likely to give you a chance.  Finally, be prepared to be humbled.  You are going to have to eat crow for a little while until this becomes a more distant mistake for you.  There is, unfortunately, something that is going to always be a part of your life.  \n\nThe only reason I feel I can give any advice at all on this one is because I was married to someone who had the same issue, and he ended up getting a job as a purchasing agent for a manufacturing firm.  However, it took a long long time and he had to be peristent, patient, and professional about it.  \n\nGood Luck to you!

If you're asking about career prospect then very good.\n\nI completed a Chemical Engineering degree six years ago and although I have not staying in the profession I am a successful project manager.\n\nNone of my fellow graduates are unemployed and many are doing extremely well.  It is a really tough degree but you do get back what you put in.
