I go to a school that's not heavily recruited. But I'm still pulling a 3.9 GPA in ME. I want a hard job in engineering that will let me travel and make me think! For the time being I'd love to just get experience as an intern or at a part time job. Shoot - I'd even slow down my degree progress if I could land an interesting full time position. But I can't seem to find them - internships, part time, or full-time jobs. Everyone wants someone who has five or more years of experience.
Are you an engineer? Do you recruit them? What do you suggest? Thank you!

Slow down your degree process? Do you mean take a full time position and go to school part time? I wouldn't recommend it, as most people who do never finish. You end up in a designer position that can only be promoted to an engineer after receiving the degree.
Monster, Monstertrak, Careerbuilder, Hotjobs, Net-Temps are all good resources for experienced professionals, but sometimes do list entry level and internships. My best advice as an engineering recruiter is to build a list of local engineering and manufacuturing companies, call and ask who the Engineering Manager is (don't tell them it's for a resume or they'll direct you to HR) and mail a hard copy of your resume directly to them. If you can't get the name then address it to "Director of Engineering". II sent 50 of these out for my husband, also a Mechanical Engineer, and received 10 interview requests and several offers.
Another trick is to call other local/popular engineering colleges and pretend to be a prospective student, and ask their career center what companies recruit/hire their engineers. Be sure to send those companies resumes since they actively seek entry level grads & interns.
Best of luck!
