Little history: I am finishing up a degree in Mechanical Engineering in the next two weeks, have a 3.7 GPA, have held multiple long-term extracurricular/leadership activities, have somewhat related full-time work experience (I spent 2 years doing full-time mechanical system repairs), and have ~5 years of experience working in safety and risk management.
I currently have a non-engineering job that I hate - the atmosphere is toxic, and the management looks for every slip up so they can write you up and get you fired. It definitely isn't a great place to be, and everyone dreads going there, but I keep going back because I need to pay the bills. I already live very minimally, and only buy rent/food/phone - I don't eat out, or spend any money on anything "fun" so that I can minimize the amount of time that I have to work at the place that has literally given me panic attacks.
I have been applying for engineering jobs (about 3-5 per week, depending on how busy the semester has been) since October. I have yet to get one single call back for an interview. I've tried getting jobs via networking (network has gotten me in contact with ~10 potential jobs, but none panned out), and via online applications. Neither strategy has brought even an interview my way. I got two more rejection emails today, which has just left me feeling outright broken. I'm more than willing to keep working at applying for jobs and don't expect to be handed one, but the fact that I hear nothing back except rejection (or silence) has been making me question what I'm doing wrong (or what's wrong with me?).
I am willing to move anywhere within Canada (which is where I live), am not hugely picky about salary (as long as its enough to continue to live minimally on), and am one of like... ~10% of women in Mechanical Engineering. I've tried applying around the country, including in remote places, to hopefully have a better chance of getting even just a single interview, but still nothing.
Does anyone have any tips on what I can do to maybe even just get a call back? Is there something I am completely missing, given that I have tried both networking and applying online?
I am trying my best (given the time constraints of still being in school with a full course load and currently preparing for final exams), but the thought of graduating and having to continue working at the aforementioned job that I hate is literally gives me suicidal thoughts, because death is starting to sound better than having wasted 4 years of my life to still be exactly where I was before I started school.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or insight.
