Yeah my GPA isn't the greatest like around 2.5-2.6 ish, I think that's what screwed me on second interview. The interview went good I thought and just went all down hill once I sent them my transcript. I think it kinda depends on the department as well, there weren't that many electrical/computer jobs compared to like chemical/oil&gas/mech, civil, gemoatics jobs. I think all my friends that are in chem all have jobs before they even finished school. What department did you graduate from?Quote:

What was your GPA like? I graduated in May as well except I was hired in February(Not the company I did my internship with)... I applied for ~10 jobs and got 7 interviews. I was employed before I even had proof of graduating or my iron ring. A lot of the people whom I know that didn't get a job in engg right off the bat missed the hiring frenzy during the end of winter/start of spring. Most of them wanted to take the summer off or go traveling. I will agree with you though the market is not nearly as hot as people like to say for new engg grads. It still does take time and patience to find a decent job. Of the people that I know in engg all but one is now hired. Most of them recently got a job this last month.
