Trying to help find a Mechanical Engineering job for boyfriend?
Mar 13th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Job Search TipsHere’s my situation, my boyfriend is from Ireland and in the process of finding a job in the states Washington state more specifically. What I’m asking is where are the most helpful places to start in search of a job. He will be graduating in November of this year. Like other newly graduated ME, he has little experience in the professional ME field. Any help or places to start looks or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-You to everyone for your responses 
Personal opinion
Next He has to do his internship.
Network from the school ,The contacts he has. This is where you can be great help by keeping track of who’s who.and how they connect to each other.Do your homework.
The political end of a career is rarely discussed and invaluable .
A introduction at the right time can make or break a career.
Be sure you are on the same page, and have the same goals.
He has to do the job every day ,so respect his direction .
Good luck,
In Washington state? Yuck! too much rain, and hippy tree-huggers. Oh well.
There is Boeing, the airplane company, but more than likely, they would only be interested in hiring an intern or someone with a doctoral or master’s degree, especially related to aerospace. I don’t believe they would want to go through the hassle of a work visa for a mere BS. There may opportunities in HVA but he would need to have a Professional Engineer license – which he would not have a recent graduate.
Have him consider energy/petroleum, there is lots more money and opportunity, and the jobs are in beautiful states, like Texas and Louisiana. This is the most lucrative field in ME and there is a constant international demand in the Middle East, Western Europe , and Latin America.
