Good Boy!
O.K. The Gilly Project has given you a lot to swallow. And The Project will try to leave you alone for a bit - give you some breathing room. But,
1. Do you think that you can get a security clearance to work for these governmental contractors and/or the government?
2. Keep in mind that The Gilly Project needs to get you hired for a job that doesn't exist. So we need to have a better picture of your biggest accomplishments since employers want to know what you can do for them more than they want to know what you learned from your prior experience. For example, you've customised your car to increase power and performance. Even with bolt on parts, that's more than I've done. So we need to make you stand out from all the other great candidates who have better grade point averages. I had a crappy GPA, but was able to explain it away since I pretty much worked my way through school. So what I lacked in academics, I made up for in self motivation. We'll need to paint that kind of picture if we can.
3. Zippy and the others have given some good web sites to mine. But once The Gilly Project is satisfied that you "have cleaned up nicely", The Project will have to rack its collective brains for any engineering contacts that we have so that we can drop your resume on their desks with the request to pass along.
4. Any blind resume that you sent out more than 2 or 3 months ago is probably in the circular file. And since you've now graduated and are immediately available, your situation is changed. So you are probably going to want to refile some of those when we are ready.
I won't post any more until tomorrow. Have to keep my job after all.

to whom?
I will have to go back and apply to more this coming weekend (this week has been killer for me between helping my mom after her surgery for breast cancer and starting a new part time job)
I also will be gone next week (Just to let you all know!!) and I'm not sure how my internet access is going to be in Chicago at my girlfriends house.

I would have to go back and check, but i used their online application system. This means i went to any group who had an opening that I meet the requirements for.

Do it, perhaps Eric knows someone that he can send your resume to. Remember its not what you know, but who you know.
