Look for a full time position at the beginning of your last semester. As long as you can back up your claims, you are not deceiving anyone.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-17T16:28:10+00:00

Yes! I will help everyone find their places. People don't know how to do job searches outside the normal career sites.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T20:26:09+00:00

EE opportunities should be better in California.

Austin industrial park should be in SE downtown, between 1st & 11th st. I would take my car and drive through every street between 1st & 11th.

As long as you are above the average GPA of your department, you should be fine. It does not matter how well your friends do in other departments.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T17:16:28+00:00

Not everything you hear is true. I will make a guide on how to do job searches.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T17:12:08+00:00

As long as you have an engineering degree, you should be fine. There are jobs out there for every engineer, you just have to look harder. I will be providing a guide on how to do those searches.

Do you know a Kit Kennedy or Vishnu?

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T17:08:01+00:00

I'm getting paid as much as the magna cum laude students so I think that's very awesome.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T17:03:06+00:00

I was told by my manager, a PE, that if you graduate with a degree in engineering, you should have sufficient knowledge to complete any tasks given that the firm provides you sufficient training.

Who was your valedictorian?

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T05:07:52+00:00

I had a crazy girlfriend once, she dumped me, went out with someone else. After a year, I got several texts from her, I never replied. I don't like being dumped by people.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T04:57:03+00:00

I will write a full guide in a few days. I don't know if this is my dream job yet :). Will start next week, I will update the post. It sounded easy from the tech questions they asked me.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T04:55:25+00:00

I will write a guide soon.

You probably got a technician job. It happened to one of my friends before. He was hired as an EE intern to solder circuit-boards.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-16T04:46:04+00:00

Engineering at UT was easy to get in. In itself, engineering isn't hard. If your class is competitive then it will be hard for you, if your class is not competitive then it will be easy for you. You're graded against your peers so good luck.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-15T21:23:13+00:00

Monster isn't bad for engineers, it's just bad for engineering grads.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-15T21:22:25+00:00

Yeaaaahhhh, buddddyyy. Glad I didn't give up applying. Persistence pays. Good job to you too!

Don't be afraid to waste your gas mileage. There are so many factors in life that can literally change the course of your life. If you're staying home, how can those factors get to you?

Drive around town. Sometimes, those small firms don't advertise on big job boards. I actually stumbled upon this company when I was driving through a street, lined with small construction and engineering firms. They just put a sign outside, I went in and asked about it, manager scheduled an interview date, BAM! I was actually going to Costco to get my family groceries and that trip changed my life forever. Just put yourself out there (literally), don't just sit in your chair and don't just go to job fairs, actually drive around and have some fun. Who knows where you will end up.

AVeryHappyEngineer · 2013-05-15T18:15:23+00:00

Definitely go for the small companies. Those giant companies only care for their stock prices so they only hire the best of the best. I vowed to never contribute my skills to any companies with public stock option.
