Hello, I am looking for an entry-level role in R&D or automotive manufacturing in Canada. As a recent graduate, what things should I consider? I got just 2 interview calls in the past month. I don't know what things I am lacking. Could anyone suggest to me what I should focus on more?

I think you might be better off catering your resume accordingly. Don’t have the same resume for R&D job applications as you have for automotive manufacturing. I am lined up for my first R&D job because I also put relevant fluids and thermo projects that I did in college before my experiences section which caught the eye of a soon to be manager. Unfortunately the job market is not the easiest these days so consistency is key. Hope this helped a little

Thanks for your response. Can you tell me if I should put my projects on thermo-fluids, control engineering and aerodynamics projects before my experiences?

I have reviewed quite a few fresh grad resume for entry level mechanical design position. When I read resumes, I look for skills and knowledge. Please (FGS) don’t ever put MS-Office as a skillset. Everyone knows MS-Office. It’s ok to put what you did on your senior projects, but included what you learned while you were doing the project, especially things that you had to teach yourself. When conducting interviews, I drill on the skillsets that candidates wrote on their resumes.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
