Hello-

Thought I would give this a shot. I'm currently attending the University of Nebraska, and will graduate in May (finally). I've done some interviewing in the local area, plus Iowa and Texas. I was wondering if any of you knew of some corporations possibly looking for a new CompE grad, preferably in the midwest (although I would go anywhere to work for EA sports :> ) Email me if you know of any openings--I'm probably leaning more towards the software side (really liked my software engineering and neural networks class). Thanks for your help.

Here's my resume below. I've tried monster.com--no luck at all from posting my resume there. I've applied at ea.com, but haven't heard anything yet. By the way, my gpa is 3.22--in computer classes (like programming and logic design) it's pretty close to a 3.6. Thanks for your help.

Here's a website for jobs in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area. Check out the Computer/IT area's. There are some CompE jobs listed there.

Also, have you checked into jobs at Rockwell Collins here in Cedar Rapids? Last time I checked, they had positions for over 30 Engineers.

Hello-

Yep, I've applied at Rockwell too--they're supposed to be getting back to me in a couple of weeks. Good idea though Vi_edit. :>

Pella Windows? I had a chance to interview with them, but didn't want to because they interview EVERYBODY, no matter who you are. I wasn't really interested in them too because they're more interested in whether you're a pyshco or if you can answer their personality survey right than whether you have any good experience or not (behavioral interviews and questionaires--a few are ok, but I've heard they go a little overboard). Thanks for the link vi.
