The purpose of this study is to examine engineering students’ individual differences as antecedents of their job search behavior and outcomes, with a focus on engineering students’ core self-evaluation (CSE), which consists of four traits: self-esteem, self-efficacy, locus of control, and emotional stability. The survey data from 91 KSU graduating engineering students have been collected and analyzed. Our findings highlight the importance of providing resources that can help students build positive core self-evaluation and encourage students to take advantage of such resources during their job search process.
