Next, understand that your career progression depends on your ability to network and make people like you. Everyone starts somewhere so you might as learn now.
You can choose to adapt or flounder. I've worked with a lot of engineering companies and the people at the top aren't necessarily there because of their technical abilities.

thanks. I think it will take time and definitely quite a bit of practice for me to get better with this networking stuff. I have been told that networking can get you pretty far, it's just that I never thought I would have to use it to get my first job... How very wrong and naive I am

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet, I'm really busy with deadlines at work, will look at it this weekend.

No need to apologize. I understand you're busy with your own work. I'm just greatful for help. I can't be forceful on someone thats offering help, especially when it's out of their own time.

That's exactly how I feel right now. I won't stop hunting and applying for jobs until I get a confirmation of getting a job. I know what you mean when you say getting interviews wont guarantee a job but I'm having quite the trouble getting an interview period lol
