If you want to work in maintenance as a LAME then your degree in Engineering was absolutely pointless but still, airlines in the Middle East love graduates. You have a better chance of 'getting in' but I would highly recommend that you start completing your Part 66 modules. You will have a big advantage when starting out and it will help you as time goes on.
One of the most contradictory post on Pprune?
My advice would be to visit the University/College careers office, they will have a wealth of information on writing covering letters and CVs. It is also worth remembering that you will need to specifically taylor each covering letter to each potential employer. There is nothing worse than seeing a covering letter stating how much someone wants a job doing this that and the other when the company they're applying to does very few of the things the applicant is after!
It is never easy but I would start by addressing what your strengths are and then seeing how they fit with what the companies do to which you are going to apply to.
Best of luck and studying engineering is never pointless!
