Why can't I get a job? Recent Grad, 3.7 GPA, Good Exp, Year and a half of searching..

Back for another beating?

Lame retort even for you ... you couldn't address the content so you retreated into your fantasy world as you're so used to doing when you want company of the opposite sex. Those observations are from the last three pages of this thread, with the exception of your "kyke" quote which I remembered from your nazi thread and spent 10 seconds finding.

I feel bad about your bitter failures with women but please go hump someone else's leg.
Quote from short&naked:

You actually took the time to read almost all of my past posts on ET... man I really got to you. That was easier than I thought it would be...

I wonder if the OP can't get a job because it's filled by a woman? Corporate America has changed it's business model to collaborative to accommodate women. They have something like 55% of the corporate leadership jobs nowadays because they work cheap....

I read a nice article in USA Today.. today oddly enough, about how the younger workers are suffering in the pay department... maybe that's because more of the younger women are getting in the workforce and lowering the wages...

55% of those in college are women though, possibly higher. Although most of them go for stupid liberal arts majors, nursing, or to get their "M.R.S." degree.

Yeah, Liberal Arts.. daughter has that, working on Masters, goal is to teach college classes...

A Physics major asks "what is this?", an Engineer asks "what can be done with this?" and a Liberal Arts major asks "do you want fries with this?"....
 
That's funny and if they stay in school for 8 years they can show other liberal arts majors where the super-size button is.

^unless you're actually intelligent and went to a good college, in which case you work at Goldman Sachs, Bain, BCG, etc.

Most engineers make about as much as a plumber doing equally tedious work. They just don't have the social skills to do anything else. Less than 1% of engineers are the creative geniuses that make it in start ups. And I'm not trying to insult engineers; a lot of the men in my family are engineers. They're really smart but they never made much.
 
Lot of free,some good advice here.
I read recently the unemployment rate for PhD economists is 0%.

I did a consulting project for a large PC insurance company last year. I was amazed how many underwriters they had and with every conceivable major, some with no bachelors. and most like work. much less clerical than I assumed.

so work your way into the que at Prudential, Chubb, cigna etc.

don't rely on the website application. find someone to intro you. hang out in the parking lot. ask a policy salesman to stop by and see if he can get you a edge in exchange for a large annuity or whatever.

YOu might also try some of the "upscale" customer/tech service firms based in the US.

sales is a bitch for many people but it is often a starter. after about one year in major corp's, degree, gpa, major mean squat. its you ability to solve problems, work with others, be curious and innovative, follow orders, deal with ambiguity, "emotional intelligence."
 
Bingo! I had a business communications class when I was working on my bachelor's taught by a retired Stanford professor and the first thing he said on the first day of class was, "your success or lack thereof, will be determined by your ability to comminicate, not your GPA, your field of choice, or the school you attended." I was a finance major and I was convinced my success would be determined by my ability to simply be better at finance than the rest. Was I wrong. Your success, or lack thereof, will hinge on your ability to communicate. Reading "How to win friends and influence people" is a good place to start. There are parts in this book that border on "How to kiss someone's ass" but if you can get past those parts the rest of the book is pretty good.

So we have an economy based on ass kissing, how well a person communicates, and fluffery. Not one based on intelligence, skill, integrity, and forthrightness.

No wonder we're in trouble. No wonder engineers do so poorly in the workforce.
