Re: Graduated Yet Unemployed
Like Don said, big companies tend to hire by the boat load -- I know mine does. If you're looking to stay in Indiana as an ME, check into places like Rolls Royce and Cummins.
I'm not sure where you went to school, but your university should have a job placement office. You don't always need to know a specific person who gives you a heads up for job openings, as those placement offices build those relationships for you. Don't underestimate the power of an alumni network either. I've definitely seen the preference managers have for hiring from their alma maters.
Lastly, when you get interviews, talk up your FIRST experience. Those teamwork, systems engineering, and project management skills are what employers want. You'll still need some of the technical knowlegde you learned in school, but it's rare to get a job where you can just be book-smart.
