These days so many people are looking for engineering jobs, but companies are hiring only the best professionals. Therefore, you have to try very hard to secure your place in this competitive market.
Who says if you are not selected in campus interviews your career is over? If you want to grab a good engineering job, then you have to follow some intelligent job hunting strategies.
1. Resume Must Impress Your Employer- First of all; you must create a professional resume to impress your employer. Employers judge the value of a potential employee by seeing his/her resume. If your resume does not give a good impression, companies will not call you for job interviews. Here are some useful resume writing guidelines for you.
- Give the most important information at the top of your resume.
- Highlight your positive aspects and strengths.
- Focus on your achievements to prove your worth.
- Use bullet points to make your resume easily scannable.
- Resume should not be more than two pages long.
2. Online Job Portals- Both job seekers and employers use online job portals. You should submit your CV to a reputed job portal and increase your chances of getting a good job. Some of the biggest engineering companies find engineers from online job portals.
3. Offline Job Consultancies-You can also contact some job consultancies in your city to find engineering jobs. Reputed recruitment agencies have good connections with famous engineering firms and fix interviews on their behalf. However, they take a small amount of money from the candidate if he gets the job.
4. Visit Engineering Companies- Companies hire only the most talented students from campus interviews. If you are not selected in campus interview, then visit some engineering companies and submit your CV to their HR department. You can also visit their websites and fill the online job application form.
5. Search Newspaper- Every reputed newspaper publishes job vacancy advertisements once in a week. Check those advertisements carefully and mark the ads that match with your educational qualification. Write an application letter and send it along the CV to all those companies.
5. Post a Classified Ad Online- There is some really good free online ad portals. You can publish a "job wanted" ad in those portals to get noticed by the employers. However, once you post an ad online, get ready to receive spam mails. That is why you should create a separate email account for ad portals and keep your personal email account spam free.
7. Use LinkedIn- Social media is a great place to find jobs. Open an account in LinkedIn and start connecting with the CEOs and Human Resource executives of famous engineering firms. If you establish a good relation with them, they may offer you job interviews.
Before you go for an interview, read about the company, their history and the services they offer. If you are a fresher, then visit some salary survey websites to know how much salary you can expect for your first job. HR professionals often ask the candidate about his expected salary and if you demand too much, then the company may not hire you.
