Help for my hubby

I don't know if any of you ladies or your husbands might be able to help, but we've tried all other avenues and thought I'd try this as well.

Zach finishes up his last 4 classes this December at Purdue. He'll have his Bachelors in Aeronautical/Astronautical engineering. We've had a deuce of a time trying to find a job for him, even with help from family members and some friends, mainly because in order to get into the field, the majority of employers want someone with experience. Unfortunately, Purdue (in it's infinite wisdom) just educates it's students in this degree field and boots them out without any kind of internship. It's gotten to the point where we've realized he'll need to possibly get a job in the way lower ranks and work his way up.

 If you hear of anything through a grapevine or anything that may help him get on somewhere, I'd greatly appreciate it. You can get a hold of me here or chelsieschuette at gmail dot com. 

 Thank you so much!

  • Unfortunately, internships are the norm now.  I'll have to think on anyone I know of in the field.  Does he have a Linked In account?  It could help network him and a lot of recruiters are using it to get candidates.  I know someone in the same program and he's going straight to Grad School.  What type of position is he looking for and where?
  • I agree with LinkedIn. 

    Also, the university should have a directory of past graduates and their contact info.  I know of some business students who sent an e-mail to graduates working at companies where they had interest.  Past graduates usually are pretty receptive to helping fellow alumni.

    GL!

  • Yep, he's got a LinkedIn account. I hadn't thought about getting in touch with alumni - we'll have to track down that info and give that a shot.

    His major concentrations are in design & propulsion, and he has an interest in project management. 

    Thanks, ladies!
