Hello,

I'm a fairly recent graduate of EE, and I also have an electronics
tech. diploma under my belt. I'm *desperate* to find work in the
electronics industry, especially something in analog design, embedded
control, or RF engineering. I'm living in Toronto, Canada.

I'm having some real difficulty in finding a junior position - i.e.,
one that doesn't require 5-10 years of experience, or a Masters
degree. It's the old 'can't get the job without experience, can't get
the experience without a job' story. :-(
I've had lots of nice comments about my resume / cover letters, but
'we've hired someone else with more experience than you' is starting
to get old.
Going back to school is not an option for me, due to family
commitments.

Right now I'm working as a consultant for construction projects -
mostly low voltage distribution. Lots of drafting and paperwork, and
absolutely no exposure to electronics whatsoever, but it's paying the
bills for now. It's also driving me mad because I know exactly what
industry I want to work in, I just can't seem to get hired.

If anyone out there could offer some advice in finding a junior
position in the electronics industry, I'd be grateful. Right now, I'm
so disheartened that I'd even appreciate hearing from others in a
similar situation, just so I know that I'm not alone. :)

Thanks in advance,
