Does anyone know of any companies recruiting graduates?

[smegal]

Hello,

My name is Craig and I'm a 22 year old, [soon to be] Mechanical Engineering graduate.

I am keen to begin my career and I am posting here to see if anyone knows of any companies that are recruiting [inexperienced] graduates.

I am hard working and extremely willing to learn and will try anything, although I am extremely interested in [realistic] renewable energy.

Please post up if you know of any opportunities.

Thank you.

Realistic renewable energy, I take it you mean sensible stuff like Hydro electric and wave/ tidal power. Not the waste of time white elephant and cause of everyones huge electric bill that is wind power??

In which case good luck. Unfortunately, even experienced graduates are being laid off in droves as the remainder of British industry is moved to the far East. I am a science graduate and was made redundant a year ago. After looking for a job for several months, I have given up, for now! Sorry, probably not much help to you, except to wish you good luck! Maybe you could train as a vehicle mechanic to earn a bit of cash and work experience till a job that makes better use of your education comes up.

The economy is pretty grim at the moment and the job market worse, the drummer in my band works in Sainsburys and every other worker at sainsburys is a graduate of some degree or other! (including IT graduates etc etc). Such a waste of talent in this country while we import cheap c$%p from China!

rant over- I really do wish you good luck!

Mc Donalds .. application available on line .

I kid you not ...because you have proved you are able to study and get results .

You don't have to make your life a misery trying to follow the themed employment that belongs to your education.

At MacDonalds you can rapidly run through all the stages from a spottry clock 16 yr old flipping what passes for food to manager then area manager With that experience and the degree ability to evaluate /programme & theorize it will be no problem get funded to open your own string of franchises .

After about 15 yrs you should be able to have five or more all run by some one else and the money funnels down into your bank accounts etc...that leaves you to really do things with your life that the majority of us will never ever have the opportunity to have .

You just need to have vision and see an opportunity when it occurs, sieze the day etc. your not hog tied like most of us are.

Hi Craig,
I don't know of any specific jobs but if you don't mind a bit of travel then fire your C.V around to some of the bigger companies in Australasia. The mining,gas and oil industries are booming around Perth and there is heaps of work. Not really ethical and renewable but as a start in the energy industry it may help your future.
Like I say I'm not at graduate level but have met graduates out here on schemes with Woodside and Apache.
It's worth a look if your on t'internet anyway.

Smegal,

Are you interested in Industrial automation and control? If so, send me a PM.

If things go as planned with me, I'll need some help welding/fabricating. It wont be for a while yet, but keep it in mind

Oh - pay wont be that great lol! but you can get some experience in ARC/TIG welding.

I am going to disagree with your opinion on wind power though. Some LARGE wind turbines situated in the correct locations can be a worthwile addition to our country's power grid.

This is something that is really beginning to concern me. I've been doing service work for nearly 6 years now and I'm really keen to begin by engineering career.

That is a point, I don't have a passion for that industry. I know what you're saying with regard to owning franchises but that isn't for me.

I was looking at working for GHD in the middle east, but I'm hoping to get myself a bit more qualified/experienced before I go abroad.

Let me know how you get on. As you said I'm local, and I'm happy to help.
