Anonym resume

In Belgium, many roles (if not all) require at least 3 to 5 years of experience. Only existing graduate programs are for administrative jobs. I still apply to these jobs, but I'd like to have what's needed to catch their attention, even if I don't have the required experience.

I live in Belgium, and I'd prefer staying there, but I'm looking a bit more broadly in France or Switzerland. I don't think that remote jobs are very common here, but I'm open to either on-site or remote jobs.

I'm mainly looking for roles involving computational engineering, CFD, finite elements, etc. Think of companies like Siemens, Ansys, and COMSOL.

I'm graduating in June and have already applied to a few 20s job offers recently, but so far, I'm still in the waiting-for-an-answer phase. I know I have time, but I prefer to increase my chances of being retained.

Particularly, I'd like a review of my overall resume, assessing what's fine, what's less, and tips from recruiters/experience engineers. Thanks!

Note: The NXP experience is a 1-year part-time job (12h/week) with a flexible termination date agreement.

Hi everyone,

I'll be graduating in June from applied math engineering with a strong focus on numerical computation on the FEM/CFD side. I'm currently harvesting the job market and applying to jobs that sound fun to me, but I'm puzzled by the high number of jobs that require 5+ years of experience. Is it common in the computational/aero job field, or in engineering, or for the whole job market?

Although many roles in this sector require several years of experience and are not open to graduates, I feel eligible to apply.

However, I'm a bit unsure about which conditions I can skip and which ones are absolute.

If any recruiter reads this, I'd be very glad to have a quick look at my resume 🙂

And for graduating (or recently graduated) engineering people, do you feel a lack of "real-world" exposure during your studies?

Thanks for reading!
