I have a year left of my mechanical engineering degree, and I've started researching companies and job opportunities. There are a couple already posted on our school employment site.
Is it too early to apply for the job and perhaps get an interview? I know that sounds weird, and I want to have a job lined up as soon as possible (who doesn't), but I don't wanna end up getting an offer and having to make a decision too soon. I don't wanna take my first offer and get shorted.
When you get an interview, how long does it usually take for the company to make a decision? Then, if they give you an offer, when do they usually expect a final decision from you?
We have a career fair here next month with a number of companies. The jobs that are currently posted on the school's site are not companies coming here next month. Should I just wait until the career fair before I start doing any interviews?
It seems to me that its unlikely a company would hire someone 6 or 7 months before they graduate (maybe I'm wrong).
