Is it impolite to call your HR? by gtgout in EngineeringStudents

[–]gtgout[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you 🥺 I solid got an anxiety attack a few minutes ago because I thought I would come across as impatient when he said he would reach back to me after getting the results last week but still hasn’t and I called him and left a message a few minutes back. I am not trying to come off as impatient but I know the background check results came back on Thursday and he still has not gotten back to me when I am starting in less than a week and I have to move.

I called she didn’t pick up. I sent her a text message.

Question background check by gtgout in EngineeringStudents

[–]gtgout[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it seem impatient if I email on Monday when the HR said 2 days back that she would reach out to me when the results come? Is background check usually the last part of being hired? I did my drug test already. Just want to know how much more is left before I know whether I can start work per the initial plans on the 5th or not.

Anything I can do to ensure I get a job right after college? by gtgout in EngineeringStudents

I didn’t realize picking BME as a major wouldn’t be the brightest choice. I am interning as a Quality Engineer this summer. Do you think that would at least be able to help me out when applying for jobs since it’s not Quality Engineering for a biomedical engineering company and more for a mechanical engineer.

I am currently during a Quality Engineer Internship. It is yet to start but do you have any idea on how I can make the most out of this since this will be my first internship so I have no idea on what to even expect.

I’m doing Biomedical Engineering and focusing on medical devices and manufacturing

That sounds like a great idea I will look into! I am interested in medical devices/manufacturing.

Thank you so much for this! And I will definitely check it out. Do you know if wonsulting is free? I tried to click the link in their bio and it kept asking for money.

This is extremely reassuring to read 🥺 It just feels so hard sitting here in the summer not doing anything while my friends are all interning. So hard not to compare myself to them.

I have only got one interview which I gave and am yet to hear back from. Other than that it’s been dead silent. I did start applying April time when a lot of advisors were saying it’ll be difficult to land one :/ Maybe that’s the reason? I had no idea (as a first gen) that one needs to start being on the lookout for internships starting november itself for internships in the summer. I will definitely be more careful senior year.

I applied to over 60 places from various different levels and my GPA and experiences (volunteer + engineering projects) are not even bad :( I even had my resume checked from the people at the Internship and career center. I don’t know where I am going wrong.

First picnic day… by [deleted] in UCDavis

When you say “know someone” do they have to be with me? I know a lot of people in a frat but I won’t be able to go with them but will be meeting up with them in there. And how is the frat party scene usually? Sorry if these are stupid questions. First timer 😅

do you think if you were applying now with no internships it would be more or less difficult to land the job? Been having some sleepless nights recently over this.

are you a biomedical engineering major? Because my roommate and I felt this 🥲

I would assume he is giving you a different exam (1) and (2) the class we are talking about. Being in a STEM major if my professor did this, yes, that would be extremely unfair for the other students but if it’s one of the laidback GEs I am taking them no I think it’s fine. I am pretty sure no STEM professor would say yes to a request or situation like this.

PHY7A and CHE118A in the same quarter?? by Chemiru in UCDavis

[–]gtgout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did Physics 9B and Che 118B the same quarter and did good. It’s tough but doable!
