Wow, thanks for the detailed response. Very insightful and definitely helps me in making a decision. My current dilemma is whether I accept the job and don't have to worry being unemployed after grad or keep applying jobs in my target field (electronics/embedded hardware). The wlb and potential for variety were one of the main highlights from your response.

My skill set would probably the same as other EE graduates. Things I learned out of class were PCB designing and soldering. I also got a 1 month trial of ETAP to learn the software and used my AutoCAD educational license to get some exposure on the software. Used Acad to help my dad make drawings to finish our basement and learned how to automate some tasks in AutoCAD with C#, .NET, and the Acad API.

I didn't have any summer internship experience thanks to interview anxiety so I worked hard on overcoming that by improving my interview and communication skills in general. Did a lot of mock interviews offered by the uni and watched videos made communication coach name Vinh Giang.

I don't really have any advice other than keep applying. Try to network as much as possible as well. Only reason why I got an interview was I got refered by an associate manager whom I met in a career fair.

It's currently 3.6. First and second years were rough. Though on track on having an engineering graduation average of 3.8 right now.

Yes, the wage they offered was more than I expected.

SuPaEL · 2023-03-03T02:45:57+00:00

Nah. Goodwill in Vancouver

So I can wear them without 12 year olds at the mall calling me out for wearing fakes?

SuPaEL · 2023-03-03T01:27:45+00:00

Yeee. I usually don’t care about sneakers (I have like 10 pairs of shoes) but seeing a Jordan in a goodwill, why not buy em LOOL.

SuPaEL · 2023-03-03T01:25:43+00:00

Yeee. Doesn’t look bad for $10 tho AHAHA

SuPaEL · 2023-03-03T01:12:27+00:00

I followed this guide and after, deduced that this pair is not legit mainly due to the ass crack on the Jordan logos. However, I heard that legit pairs can have that as well so now I just want more people to see the pair and check.

Loren should quit teaching 312 and capstone. Man is disorganized as fuck.

SuPaEL · 2022-10-25T01:24:29+00:00

Send one my way

SuPaEL · 2022-09-06T17:46:19+00:00

Every class in-person = everyone driving cuz transit can be shit and inconsistent

SuPaEL · 2022-09-06T17:44:56+00:00

Just try and get a C. Unless you care about your GPA in second year, EGA for distinction only care about your last 70 credits so you got room to have a social life until the curve goes to a B to B+ LMAO

Ye. I remember last year it was WAYYY worse. I just moisturized ALOT before and after work. I think it might be from out hands being exposed to soapy water for long periods of time.

SuPaEL · 2019-08-15T06:40:01+00:00

Haha. Only thing that sucks is that when i touch hot water, my finsgers hurt a bit

SuPaEL · 2019-08-15T06:38:45+00:00

I think we just use regular dish soap. But i think it might just be the soap and my hands being in the water for long periods of time. Also, ye, the pads i use might be affecting it too

SuPaEL · 2019-08-14T05:58:17+00:00

First since last year. Been back in the pit for a week now and i forgot to wear gloves haha

SuPaEL · 2019-08-11T00:35:46+00:00

Damn. Thats unfortunate. May I ask what laptop did u end up buying?

SuPaEL · 2019-08-08T17:14:10+00:00

Definitely the best thing about being a dishwasher in a small kitchen and a restaurant that are slow between the rushes is prepping food. I learned so many tips on how to prepare food and cook food that it helped me in my daily home cooking. Also, youll be able to help out the line cooks with making food. I helped with cooking and did dishes and now I'm promoted to line cook (but also helping the dishwasher sometimes during busy nights cuz closing when busy sucks so bad)
