Down to 3, I think
I think it's pretty much come down to 3 choices for my job when I graduate in December. By now if I haven't heard back from the company after their first round and phone interviews I will consider that they're not interested in me. These are the 3 positions that I'm still applying for... Marketing Engineer This job is at my curent company which I've been interning at for over 9 months. This position is part of the group that is responsible for about 70% of the business. The product which this person would be marketing for is considered the premium product of the company. In other words, this is a job where I can get quite a bit of exposure. Market Research Analyst This position is for a major semiconductor company in the exciting state of Idaho. Job Description: "The Market Research Analyst position plays an instrumental role in providing data and analysis to key decision makers within xxxxx. The analyst will utilize their knowledge of the application and semiconductor markets to construct a firm understanding of current and potential market opportunities. This position will aggregate and disseminate information and analysis on markets and applications that are of critical importance to the company. This role offers tremendous professional growth opportunities for a result-oriented, career-minded individual." This job interests me because the hiring manager tells me they don't expect the person to be at this job for more than 3 years. In other words, this job is a springboard to another position aimed towards corporate leadership. What that means is this job is one of those hardcore work your ass off jobs. But that's what you'd expect from the semiconductor industry, cut-throat competition and fast-paced work environment. Client Engagement Associate This one is for one of the fastest growing IT consulting companies. This job is basically where you sell consulting services to other companies. It interests me because it seems like another demanding job, lots of research on certain industries and potential clients in order to make a consultative sale. Also the compensation is really good for a sales position. Tomorrow I leave for Charlotte, NC for an assessment center that Ingersoll-Rand has set up. I guess this is their final round of interviews. I think it's going to be fun, I've never been to Charlotte before. What's NOT fun is the amount of school crap I have to do the following week, I don't even want to think about it.
