Sell yourself my friend. Confidence is huge in an interview. Your post above is totally lacking anything vaguely resembling confidence. Prep for it, become familiar with the company so you can ask informed questions. Don't give BS canned answers, engage your interviewers in a conversation. I've been offered every job I've interviewed for, so I'm not totally full of it.

What does your resume look like? Is it based on accomplishments, or tasks? To sell yourself, you need to show employers why you are of value to them, not just a task list. For an ME with one year experience, it needs to be one page. Put the absolute most important stuff at the top, don't list every class you've taken, and don't list hobbies or activities. Make it to the point, and lead descriptions with action words. For the love of God, make sure the grammar and formatting is good. If you want a critique, copy and paste it on here, or get an intelligent friend to look at it.

After that, if you're interested in moving, apply here:
hawkerbeechcraft.com
boeing.com
spiritaerosystems.com
learjet.com
cessna.com

Every single one of those companies are hiring, hardcore. So long as your resume isn't crap, I'd bet money that you'll have multiple companies willing to fly you to Wichita for an interview. In the case of Boeing, you could have the chance to work in any number of locations in the USA. Each one will require you to fill out a profile on their website and submit your resume. Be sure you look through the job postings, and apply to every one you feel meets your qualifications. It's a pain, but so is job shopping.
