/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>Graduated with a degree in electrical engineering last year
>Applying for jobs for the last 12 months straight
>10 or so interviews so far (no offers)
>No one seems to give a shit about the projects I did in school (my crowning achievement being a 2DOF robotic arm)
>Every follow up I ask where I need to improve and am greeted with "do personal projects"

So what am I supposed to design in my garage that will make an employer go "wow, I definitely want to hire this sperg with no work experience because of this personal project of his". Everything I look up is either not at all interesting or too simple that I feel wouldn't warrant any interest from an employer. I've been gunning for a pcb design job since that's what I'm most interested in, so naturally I think I should make a pcb from scratch that will do something neat.

Before you shit on me about internships and coop; no I didn't do them in school, yes I regret not doing them. Internships are not an option at this point as far as I know. Yes I've also tried networking, no one wants to be my friend and put a word in for me.
