Anyone ou there know of any stateside firm in the Aerospace Industry that's hiring recent College Grads with a BS in Aerospace Engineering????

Got a kid that graduated in May and still no job calls.

Need for that kid to get a job!!!

Help brother and sister Freepers, please.....

Have him look at the usajobs web site, or go to http://www.donhr.navy.mil He could get an entry level engineering job with the feds.

Toss me a line on FR mail if you hear of anything in your neck of the woods.

Will do. Best of luck.

Lockheed is a good recommendation. I should know, I work there... :)

I was in the same situation when I graduated. No jobs due to defense downsizing (after the Reagan boom). I went and got a Master's degree. It's a great route if he doesn't mind a little more school. I found that it places you on top of the resume pile if the competition only has an undergrad degree.

Anyway, good luck and don't be afraid to accept other offers outside the aerospace industry, you can always go there after some work experience.

One last trick, try volunteering some time at a firm. At minimum, you get some experience to put on the resume and at best, they could end up hiring you!

I have some contacts at a Long Beach, CA engineering firm that does sub work for Boeing.
Freep mail me if interested in names and numbers.

This is what I did...and it worked into a position in a molecular genetics lab.

Ain't no jobs.

Electrical Engineering here...applied to everything I could find nationwide.

I think if I put on a foreign accent and pretended to have a resident alien visa I'd have a better chance.

Found your request by stalking Jen. I worked 9 years for The Aerospace Corp. And they worked for me the many years I put in the AF space programs. I will try to sent a link to their site which is aerospace.org. Locations are both launch sites, VA,CO,NM and others.

{{{hugs}}} Stalk on, LJ! ;-)

All alone here with my webtv. Hi Yall

[larryjohnson]

Don't mind us,Sandy but did you see Jen in Uniform? That'll make your son sign up. Seriously the AF engineers I worked with over 30 years were the best. Have him try the AF labs for real engineering. The civil service with the Military tech areas is real service too in my book

[Jen]

LJ, you stop that! You're embarrassing me. *blush* ;-)

You don't need to be lonely. Come play over here. You'll find many old FRiends and some new ones too.

I'm a recruiter. Here's what to do.

1. Build a list of target companies (Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc.).

2. Find the "project managers" and "program managers" in those companies > email them the resume > then follow up with a phone call to them.

Here is a web URL with search results leading to .xls files, these files containing contact information of such people. Highlight/copy and then paste this web address into your browser window:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=filetype%3Axls+AND+%22lockheed+martin%22+AND+boeing+AND+%28%22program+manager%22+OR+%22project+manager%22%29&ei=UTF-8&n=20&fl=0&x=wrt

In this search (above) where it says "filetype:xls" - you can change that to "filetype:pdf" and open even more similar documents in the .pdf format (need to download the free Adobe Acrobat reader (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html)

Also, use the career center at the school.

Best of luck and email me at paw@colltech.com if you need additional help.

My thanks to you and Jen. I've passed the link along to him. Hope something pans out.

[SandRat]

Thank you for the help.

I've passed this on to him and copied your reply to a word document so that if need be he or through me can get back in touch with you. His PC has been acting weird as of late so sometimes its a relay effort.

We'll see what plays out.

Lockheed Martin in Orlando has been posting openings lately. Try Boeing in the same area.
