What Is Entry-Level Civil Engineering and How Do I find Jobs?

A civil engineer is someone “who plans, designs and supervises construction of public structures or works (roads, bridges, sewers etc.), according to a nice definition provided by google.com. (I was a bit curious myself as to what distinguished an engineer from a civil engineer, but then that’s just a general term anyway). There must be a bunch of different engineering categories out there, and we will concentrate on this one for today.
So for all of your entry-level civil engineering needs I say visit the Engineering Central as it lists more than just entry-level civil engineering jobs. You can find help with resumes, submit your resume, and find all types of information on employers and other links. It is really an engineering central. Next visit smarthunt.com because it typically has useful information there and this time is not different. It provides many entry-level civil engineering jobs as well, and you an even search by country (UK, Canada, India). Go for it.
Look at Dice next because there is a nice list of jobs there, about 1414 to be exact. I like those odds. Finally, there is salary.com (yay) and a place called Aerotek that is helpful to all job seekers and even has a place for the entry-level civil engineer. Hooray.
