Hi Everyone,
Would like to ask for advice. I'm from EE engineering background and trying to seek out for an engineering or even non-engineering roles as long as have good career path (anything except for manufacturing related) position in SG. I've been trying for months but totally no call at all. Was wondering if anyone experienced this before or any tips or hint? I'm also thinking to apply to headhunting firms, any good ones for engineering related? Would greatly appreciate your expert advice:)

Try gain some relevant experience. Know what you want, then carve your own path there.
It appears to me you don't even know what u want in your career.

Hi jitshiong, thanks for the response. sorry i didn't phrase that correctly, engineering is always my highest priority esp in EE Eng but what i was trying to say is that i dont mind trying a non-engineering role (but still in engineering field) such as procurement,logistics if opportunity arises.

I was in the same shoe last time, i'm an Industrial Engineering student. But i don't know what i want, so i just do whatever that was assigned to me.
Lucky for me, now i know so i'm on track, but it's far from Industrial Engineering that i've studied for.

EE is a very broad field, look at people you aspire to be in the future and follow their footsteps. You gotta have a goalpost, then only u know where you need to shoot.

That's a very good insight and advice coming from a 1st hand experienced person, much appreciated:)...yeah, i'm trying to be flexible here to explore all the possible opportunities esp in this economic situation, i believe in never try, never know...Hope i can get some luck at least to get an opportunity to fiddle around in EE field with while i'm young, don't want to regret in my older ages:P Thanks.

Hi JohnJon,
Yeah i saw many opportunities in electrical, was thinking going into that field instead of the semiconductor field which are mostly manufacturing, small portions of design and research. Do they take entry level electrical engineer though?
