Graduated last year with a bachelors in engineering, been applying left right and centre to anything I can get my hands on; can't even get a phone call back most of the time. It's so demoralising watching all my friends land jobs through friends of family, etc. Any advice on how to find work as an engineer in the central london area?

Part of your issue is looking for engineering roles in central London, they do exist but they tend to be for fairly senior engineers rather than entry level. You’re much more likely to find a job in finance or consulting that values an engineering degree and is in central London.

Depends on your type of engineering but a lot of the good engineering grad schemes will involve relocating.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
