Entering the Aerospace Industry After Graduation
The importance and sensitivity of work done in the aerospace industry means that experience is often seen as the best Professional asset. Aerospace firms, after all, can plug in experienced designers and engineers in a variety of positions without explaining their job responsibilities to them or providing Extra training. The experience barrier is only one such barrier that can make the postgraduate job hunt tough for young professionals. The International nature of the aerospace industry means that applications come in from all over the World for each position. As Well, the high standards of aerospace firms mean that exceptional aerospace professionals are at a premium. In the End, graduates and young professionals need to utilize a variety of methods to find their dream aerospace job.
Intelligence, creativity, and potential are valuable for aerospace professionals to have but they can often be difficult to portray to hiring managers. The first Step in beating out the competition is to build an exceptional CV which lays out your qualifications for a particular job. Aerospace professionals need to tout any academic honours and exceptional academic performances in their time at university. A good CV for aerospace purposes includes any project-based positions or experiences which may translate into success with a firm. As well, internships or volunteer opportunities which show initiative toward success in aerospace jobs are invaluable on a CV. Finally, aerospace professionals need to pick and choose their contacts carefully, as to maximize these valuable resources.
One way for graduates to gain access to the aerospace field is to utilize an apprenticeship or fellowship. These opportunities are typical among major aerospace companies and are highly competitive, drawing thousands of applicants yearly. However, young professionals who take advantage of these opportunities gain a strong foothold in the competitive aerospace field. Interns and fellows work alongside experienced engineers, designers, and managers to learn a specific aspect of the industry. While there are a limited number of these positions within the industry, young professionals need to take a chance by applying for one.
For most professionals, however, the job hunt awaits them after graduation. Graduates interested in aerospace jobs should consider consulting with their university advisor about tools through the school to find a job. Other graduates combine a use of General job sites with classic newspaper classified ads to find their job. One way of cutting through all of the searching and applying is to do research on which aerospace companies are the most promising and research their web sites for jobs.

How is the aerospace engineering world or just the engineering world in general?
I have recently been accepted to Penn State University Park into the college on engineering. I want to focus on aerospace engineering because i am very interested in airplanes and would love to work for airbus or Boeing one day. however i am not quite sure that it has to offer and how engineers think of there career.
does PSU have any prestige in the engineering world?
I hope my answer will help on both questions.
If you choose to select your degree focus on “what’s hot” or what has available jobs you will end up disappointed for Two reasons. First, you won’t be pursuing your passions. Second, what is hot now may not be hot in four or five years when you’re looking for your first job.
Similarly, once you have you degree, your work experience and work ethic will speak more highly than where you got your degree. Certainly you want to choose a good program for your focus, but don’t let that limit how good you feel about your education. Your education is based mainly on two things that may not be related to your university of choice. First, what effort are you planning to put forth? Second, who are your professors? These will more dramatically affect your education than any “brand name” school ever will.
If you want to work for Airbus or Boeing, give them a call now. Maybe talk to someone in HR and get a recommendation on the types of degrees they are looking for (Bachelors, Masters) and what type of disciplines they hire most (aerospace, mechanical, electrical, etc.) Then ask if they have a favorite school they recruit from.
Then, hang up, call back, ask to speak with a manager in the engineering department. Ask similar questions of the manager, surely they know what they are looking for.
Next idea, call (or go in to) the Penn engineering department, find out which alumni are working for Airbus and Boeing type companies and give those guys a call or an email. Former students from Penn are going to be a wealth of knowledge about industry and about courses and about professors. You’ll quickly learn who you need to take classes from, even if you aren’t interested in the subject.
Congratulations on being accepted to college, pursue your passion, stick with it even when it gets tough. Don’t choose your career based on trends or projected trends, just do what you love. By the way, if you are looking into aerospace, you should also think about learning to fly. If it’s has ever been a dream, just get it done. Forget spending your money on a car or over priced vacation, save your money and get a pilot’s license. You’ll get a Lot farther in the industry if you’re already on “the team”.
Begin looking soon for summer internships for next summer (after your freshman year). You’ll want to start 6 months ahead if possible. You may or may not get paid, but you could be getting some of the best industry experience at a time when you may not have many financial commitments.
