Electrical Engineer that Needs Experiance

what about aiming a bit lower and getting into something related to your studies, this would keep the money coming in and get you some experience who knows you may prefer the new role.

When applying for jobs i work on the principle if i think i can do it i apply, if your adaptable you will soon pick up the new skill, and it looks good on your CV, trained in one thing worked in another.

Shows your versatile

My advice is check for maintenance positions. You would be surprised what maintenance men encounter, and are expected to know. Once in a company, get familiar with their phone system, security system, lighting system, backup power, etc. All that stuff is sophisticated electronics.

As a maintenance man, it won't be unusual for you to be examining the systems.

Once they realize you can fix the systems, you won't be doing maintenance anymore, and you will get lots of experience.

Companies have to pay big bucks for this service from contractors, and if they can have somebody in-house, it saves them a lot, and you're close at hand.

I suggest you that search switchgear manufacturers in your area near you live.They will hire you atleast as an Assistant or junior engineer.But you will be designing electrical switchgears and plc automation systems,it will give you more experience in a short period.

Try it then let me know.....cheers

Thank you all very much. There is a lot of good advice here, and I will redouble my efforts, and see if I cant put your ideas into practice. I appreciate you all taking the time to give me the benefit of your experience.

Sincerely,

Penglos
