Hello 
I graduated as a civil engineer from the university of Tripoli on December 2017. I immigrated to the United States and took the FE and then the EIT last year. I tried to apply for entry-level civil engineering jobs through different companies, but I haven't been called for an interview from any of them!
I dont know what am I missing. 
Any suggestions on improving my application?

Thanks!

Hi Ala,
I would say search recruiters on linkedin and message/email them. You can also try all the job portals on the web as well as ASCE. Best of luck!

Hi,
I suggest going back to school. Evaluate you degree and start your education. You have to obtain American version of your education. It should take you two years to finish BS in Civil Engineering. After few semesters you will able to find internship/entry level position. You will also be able to work part time while studying. 

I doubt that you can get employed without US degree. Good Luck!

Hi, 
Thank you for your reply. Do you think if I studied my masters degree in the US it may help getting an internship?
