What's the Freshman Engineering Edge?

An Electrical Engineer was job searching for 2 years before finally taking a job as a trucker.

A Mechanical Engineer walked dogs for a year and a half before finally settling on a job offer requiring a move he didn't want to make.

With 140,000 new engineering grads in the U.S. and many more around the globe, there isn't exactly a shortage of engineers. And yet - companies still say it's impossible to find candidates to fill their engineering roles.

Where's the discrepancy?

Recent engineer grads are submitting 200, 900, even 1400 job applications before landing one offer, and they end up going into lower paying roles on short term contracts.

You can do better. I'm spilling all the secrets how in this self-paced online course.

Who can benefit:

  1. High School Juniors and Seniors

  2. College Freshmen

  3. College Sophomores and Juniors who feel they're struggling, need refocusing, better advice, and encouragement. 

 

Don't be one of these people.
