[QUOTE="mr-ed209, post: 1264471, member: 14769"] My advice would be get any job you can tolerate and that gives you free time to continue searching. The next is to get specific about what you want to do.. like real specific. You have a masters in engineering, is there anything applicable that you studied in depth that would be valuable to certain industries? If so build yourself arround that and advertise yourself as a consultant as opposed to a naive desperate post grad. Make your own website and business cards etc if it helps. You could form a very lucrative income if you were to be granted just a couple of 'gigs' from various large scale companies. That also, seems to be the hiring route most companies take for their more specialist roles; bringing in private contractors onto company pay role for the longer term. The alternative is to keep plugging through HR departments and recruiters, trying to explain the niche qualities of your masters to some 24 year old business studies grad who just wants to knock off for happy hour [/QUOTE]
