Dear New Engineers, Here's Why It's Taking So Long to Get a Job



Remember the times your engineering profs would say "All this hardship is gonna be worth it because when you graduate, you're all sure to get jobs quickly"? I remember the time when I thought that. It was around June of last year, and I had been expecting to have been employed by then, but instead I had just gotten another rejection--after flying to Clark for the job interview, nonetheless.

So you've hurdled over the board exam, next is the real thing: Finding a job. Which you haven't been able to do yet. And it sucks because you're the last among your batchmates who is still unemployed.  Why is that? You're all engineers. In fact, you performed better academically in college than X nga, you have more professional connections than Y naman, but why did both land jobs earlier than you did?
