Went to a hiring event in Palmdale, CA. Talked to a bunch of people from the various departments at RMS in Tucson. I got invited to another, bigger hiring event in Tucson. They flew me and a few other guys from my school out, put us up in a REALLY nice resort in Starr Valley and had some cool events planned out.
Sunday was arrival day and check-in, if you so please.
Monday was more check-in days, security clearance advice seminar, relocation advice, a factory tour and lastly, a networking event. This networking event is VERY important. This is the chance you have to meet the hiring managers in your department and mingle with more and convince them that you deserve to interview with them. I went into this event with an interview with the manufacturing engineers. I came out with 2 additional interviews after that night. I ended up accepting an offer with a completely different department that aligned more with my degree and my passion. The interview with that department was a result of the networking session.
Monday was interview day. Put on your best face, be yourself, be happy, portray a passion for what you do and show off projects! The interviews were often friendly conversations in the end.
