UW Grad seeking full time design job

Hello

I am a Computer Engineering graduate student at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I specialize in the area of FPGA/ASIC and VLSI systems design., embedded systems and computer architecture design.

I am highly interested in working Full time from Fall 2004.

Currently I am working on a co-op at GE Medical systems designing embedded systems for their testing equipment.I am also a research assistant at the VLSI - EDA labs UW Madison and also a teaching assistant in the department.

I Graduate in Summer 2004 and am looking for a full time job from Fall

2004. I would be glad to forward you my resume, if you do have any openings in the same field. I would be glad to send you any other details if required.

I could use a job too, but repeatedly spamming this message across several newsgroups is a really good way to waste your time. These newsgroups are for AFTER you get hired, and need some help to get out of a tight spot. ;-)

Very good points, and here's a couple more: On my side of the country, UW is University of Washington, no Wisconsin. I don't have anything against your school, but it's not what I think of when someone says UW.

It's also good practice to indicate your citizenship and/or visa status on your resume.

Why can't you leverage your contacts and relationships at GE Medical systems and their vendors for a full time position after graduation? It appears to me that you are in a perfect position to help yourself if you can just start looking and view your co-op experience as a job search opportunity as well as a career-building experience.

Unfortunately, a the majority of the people that subscribe to this newsgroup are technical professionals (or students) but they usually don't have hiring or firing authority. They may be aware of unadvertised openings in their departments, but I've found that many engineers are horrible at networking or working with human resources in their companies.

My first piece of advice to you is this: Talk to the Human Resources department at GE and learn what other positions may be available in other divisions of GE.

My second piece of advice to you is this: Read some books on negotiation. Engineers and other technical professionals are woefully lacking in their negotiation skills which directly affects their career, usually in a negative way. One possible title to review "Negotiate This", by Herb Cohen.

Good Luck, Bob F.

Around here it's University of Waterloo, especially where programming is concerned. Wisconsin would probably come third after Washington in the mental order of precedence.

Yup.
