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!

It's not hard.  Call a couple of the companies in your area and ask if they are interested in an apprentice.  Try the local union in your area, they offer apprenticeships.  I started at a concrete company driving their trucks and poured concrete on the side.

Try Computer Science or Electricals. Biotech is also promising.

Buy an electronics lab from Radio Shack and build a few projects. I was bought one when I was 11 (about 26 years ago) and haven't looked back. The best way to learn is with practice and its never too late.

First off your majoring in Eletrical engineering. You need to know how to solder. I would HIGHLY recommend you learn it. Go down to radio shack pick up a 4 dallor soldering iron and some solder.  And a few project boards and some wire. and Start practicing. I had to learn to solder because there was things I always needed to fix. Growing up learned it from my dad growning up and he went to college for eletrical engineering. My mom even knows how to solder and she didn't go to college. Paying someone to do it for you is not going to teach you how to do it.

Well I was in the AF but I was not an electrician and from what I noticed, no matter what job you have in the AF you will have to go overseas and it may or may not be exactly what you thought it was going to be like.  If you become certified and take a few classes here and there, when you get out you will have a better chance of finding a good paying job.  It was a great experience and helped me pay for school but it really hasn't helped me out as far as jobs go.   But then again, my job wasn't exactly the greatest for career advancement when I got out.  My best advice would be to do some research online and ask your recruiter what qualifications you will have when you get out.\nCheck out this website and scroll down to page 6, where it gives descriptions for electrician jobs.  There are many different types. http://www.afcesa.af.mil/userdocuments/publications/AFpublications/ceo/ceof/cfetp_civ_ofc/WGElectrical.doc

Try a few different jobs and see which you like better.  Volunteer in various capacities.  Do interest and aptitude surveys and questionnaires.  Most importantly, be open to new things and be flexible in your thinking.  Young people entering the job market today can expect to have several careers throughout their working lives.  \n\nOur daughters who are now 28, 30, 31, and 33 are already into second and third careers.  And I am retired, a grandma, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

First get it approved by Electricity Boards, catch hold of some Junior/Superintending Engineer as to how to do it, you have pay some bribe(in India) and then watch your business grow.

1. Be very careful.  Working with electricity without understanding the risks is very dangerious.\n2. I don't know if there is anywere on the web but your local library will have many books on home wiring.\n3. After gaining an understanding of basic wiring you will need to research the local building codes for your area.

I'm an Electrical Engineer.\nI studied (30 years ago!) Heavy current applications.\nI generally deal with Supply and transmission of electrical energy from the generation point, until it reaches your socket outlet in your house, office or factory. I size cables, fuses and switchgear. I design lighting installations, Fire alarms, Security alarms, Access control, Lightning protection and general feeds to other building controls and equipment within the construction industry.\n\nElectronic Engineers would have studied light current applications. They are professional within the equipment construction industry, and are responsible for design or servicing and repair of Electronically biaised equipment, such as TV's, Computers, Hi-Fi, DVD etc.\n\nThere is a cross over point between the 2 professions.\nFor example; Electronically biaised engineers would design a central control for Building Management, but would not normally be able to safely design the remote heavy current switches that the system actuates, or have in depth knowledge of the stringent regulations which are mandatory.\n\nI wouldn't try and mend my TV, and I sure as hell wouldn't want an Electronics engineer wiring my house! (Their cables are far to small!)\n\nThat's about as complicated as it gets!

Apprentice yourself for free or cheap before graduating.  Either way there is your experience.  Or hire yourself out to Agencies.\n\nDepending on your field alot of company hire trainees.

I would say become an electrician. Manual labour is highly sort after nowadays such as plumbing, gas engineers etc. This is where you can make the most money and these sort of things are always going to be in demand. Most people today prefer IT, office jobs, retail work etc. I would definately go with becoming an electrician. My husband is a heating engineer and in that trade, companys are screaming out for workers.(and the pay is good, but can depend on where you live)

It depends on what kind of electrician one would want to be.\n\nThere's residential, commercial, industrial, controls, maintenance...and probably a handful of others.\n\nThe first three usually involve apprenticeships (typically, helpers) dependent upon the statutes in your area.\n\nControls and maintenance are usually fields that require some form of formal learning.\n\nAlthough it's not especially critical to the job, electrical theory (i.e. Ohm's Law, etc.) will, no doubt be taught in a formal learning environment.\n\nOn the job, pipe bending, wire pulling, wire stripping, splicing, lugging, terminations, and generally keeping yourself from getting killed is important.\n\nWiring diagrams and blueprints are essential learning.\n\nI'm probably forgetting a ton, but those are sort of the highlights.

Here you go...\n\nhttp://www.library.tuiasi.ro/ipm/vol12no34/mechanical.htm\n\nPS: Endless Opp. Career is " POWER ENGINEERING "\nElectrical Engineering or Power Engineering are the carreers you want to get in to... Look at it this way... No POWER.... No anything else... \n\nTake care.
