Who Here Works In The Computer Industry?

I have been trying to get an internship position as an entry software engineer or a test engineer for the summer of 2002. So far, I have applied to MANY companies, but I have not received anything, but "we will review your resume" letters. I've been to my career center and spoke to many veterans and they tell me it will really help if you can have someone in the company turn in my resume. If you work in the computer industry, can you submit my resume for me?

I am a junior in college studying computer science. Thanks!
 
Still hard, since they aren't the ones that deal with hiring. That's usually another department; I've tired several attempts to several compaines but no luck : (
 
This thread may be helpful. And I work for a computer company but without a genuine referral from someone who knows you personally, having someone internally refer you in most cases doesn't do any more than submitting your resume online.
 
Most of us who still have jobs are damn lucky to have them, the odds of you finding anything easily are slim to none.

Maybe. 😛

I prefer to think of it as being well grounded in reality. REALLY well grounded.

ROSSMAN! UR STILL HERE! Someone posted the other day that you left or said good bye. Good to hear that you're still here. Anyways, car decisions... I still have not got it. Loooooong story, but I will tell u everything when I finally get a car.
 


<< are you willing to relocate to richmond, virginia? >>



I will relocate depending on what kind of internship position. I had some friends that done internships, but it was more of an assistant or sit around job. If it's actual work, I'd relocate.
 
I took a different path to establish my position in this industry. I will share my side of the story and hopefully you'll get something useful out of it.

I figured that Computer Science wasn't for me. So I'm at UBC studying Asian Studies. I learned most programming, hardware, etc on my own and I still read a lot on a regular basis. I now mostly work on .NET stuff and will be concentrating into software design, OOP, UML, etc.

I got some temporary jobs through online career search offered by my school. I current work as a developer at a company that trains MSF. I volunteer as a SIG coordinator at a local user group (Vancouver NT User Group - or VANTUG) and recently co-spoke with my boss during two sessions of Comdex Vancouver.

It takes time to get myself known, but I now have a connection with a fair number of companies. Many I know through the current company. I know some product managers and ex-product managers of Microsoft. I know some dev leads at some major local software companies. They don't guarantee me a job but when I submit my resume, they put mine in the "recommended" list.

And if you got questions about shaping up your resume, ask Ameesh. Search for a related thread from a week or so ago. He made some great suggestions.
