Mechanical Engg. grad (BTech 2020, MEng Automotive 2023). COVID affected my early career, so I pursued higher studies in Canada. Since graduation, I’ve applied to many jobs in Ontario with no luck. I’ve worked part-time in restaurants and am eager to find an entry-level role to start my career. I’m a quick learner, adaptable, and ready to prove myself. Any advice or leads would mean a lot. Thank you!

Bues advice.... pick up a building engineer position. Far more of them are available than mechanical engineering positions. Lots of them pay much better than you would expect.

Good luck!

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33.

I’ve been told I would make a great COO someday and I’m ready to take the next step into leadership. Who/what should I be targeting next?
