Preparing for a Job in Technology from l33tdawg

As we move well into the spring semester, more and more kids are thinking about life after college. Those that prepared wisely already know where their first jobs will be. Those that didn't may, at least for a while, need to get used to the question, "Do you want fries with that?" Although the industry has been hammered in recent years, high-tech remains an interesting career choice, especially given the success of products like the iPod. This column is intended as a primer for kids not yet in their senior years who want to prepare for a career in high technology (as well as for parents who don't want to experience the trauma of their kids moving back home as fast food engineers). The sources for this information were Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) and AMD (NYSE: AMD) Latest News about AMD, the two most powerful chip companies in the market, but their requirements are similar to those in the rest of the industry. It should come as no surprise that top firms favor top-performing students from top schools. This doesn't mean you can't get a job if you have gone to another institution; it just means you will have a harder time getting that first interview. In tech, as in most industries, it isn't what you know but who you know that makes the difference. Meeting influential people and managing those contacts will help you get a prized position and allow you to advance rapidly. Making friends with upperclassmen who have similar career goals can provide much-needed support when you enter the workforce. It can also provide a ready source of information on interviewing techniques that work. |

A really interesting story, thanks for posting it.
For me (living in the Netherlands) the article is interesting to read, since it sort of works different here.
