Recent BCIT grad as well, was sending out applications to a lot of places and never got a bite or they would be unanswered a month only to be rejected. As Yaminashi said, the industry (ours) just isn't booming right now as said by others. But it also really depends on the firm you apply to since each firm has its own set of clients. And as long as the clients have work to be done, the firm will as well. I was fortunate to get a job about a week after graduating because of a recommendation from my teacher. And after talking to a bunch of people including new hires and long time employees, it seems that you really need to know someone to get a job now a days. As others have said, networking is what you should be doing now instead of applying aimlessly.

And on that note, any recent grad/anyone with an electrical background that can do CAD/workstations? I MIGHT know of a company (engineer firm in vancouver) desperately looking for some people because they are swamped with work. Will have to check if they are still looking.
