Go to the Bay area or elsewhere in Cali. It’s very simple to get an internship in this field and they often pay as well as a full position, so that can get you in the door. Just search for electrical engineer, computer commerce, etc.
Depends, did you have decent grades? Check with your school’s career services to see if they offer interviews.
With an EE degree, you could work for:
Dell
Texas Instruments
Intel or AMD ( I reckon they have branches in Texas)
Any power company in TX
If you specialized in controls you could work for the numerous refining companies in Houston.
You have my sympathy. Thank your government for encouraging huge companies to offshore commerce jobs and then bring in tens of thousands of H1B and L1 engineers from foreign countries to compete with you to fill jobs for the “commerce shortage”.
You are living proof that there is no commerce shortage.
With that said, you need to leave no stone unturned in finding places to send your resume to. They key to finding a job is to be persistent and keep looking. Even if the job description says they want 10 yrs experience in a field, just send in your resume anyway.
First of all treat your job search like a job. Commit physically to spending 4 hours every day researching local companies, calling, and writing letters. Set a goal: make two calls, write two letters, etc. each day. Buy a new suit and tie for the interviews if you need one.
Nearly any large industrial company needs electrical engineers. Energy companies, chemical companies, paper companies, all hire EEs. And like one of the other folks said apply everywhere, even if the jobs say senior engineer apply anyway, because they might later prompt someone from within and a more access level would become open. Find the name of the CEO or chief technical officer (CTO) and write or call them about a job (you have nothing to lose).
Get in contact with your college. They could help you with your job search. Also, check and see if you can find any commerce alumni in Houston and write them to see if they know of any job openings.
The IEEE branch in Houston could also help you. I add their web site at the bottom.
You can do this.
