the indians know engrish much better, ive worked with plenty of ethnicities, she was just particulary poor to work with
^^ Your presentation was epic destruction like nothing seen before. It’s going to be so hit and miss on the final.
My job is more understanding, testing, and building of an entire unit so the chip works the way it should and doesn’t explode in the housing. The chips itself don’t get built there, way to expensive. Some are built in a university in Seattle (much like the UB room we saw but on a much larger scale) or from a vendor that sucks and we continually give them design changes.
I’m graduating from UB with my BSME at the end of this semester, and worked at Danforth from May 08 to August 08. After that I was lucky enough to get a job at Delphi in Lockport and worked there until Christmas on contract. Problem solving and common sense were most useful to me throughout my time at each company. School will never teach you the specifics of how each company works so you simply learn as you go. I worked with AutoCad a ton at Delphi and actually hadn’t used the program since way back freshman year, but I told them I had previous experience and picked it right back up my first few days.
In my time at school I’ve found that you really learn more than just the topics you’re studying. You learn HOW to learn, since there is such a diverse range of things to specialize in.
Now that school is winding down I’m kinda starting to worry about finding a job. It has been sitting in my head ever since I started school, but now that it’s actually time to graduate…
ive had interviews like crazy the last two months, multiple times at the same place, its been 8 days since my last one nothing heard yet god im nervous
Where at?
US energy development corp 3 times, Goodyear/dunlop 3 times, US army corps i had a phone interview but they really want civil engineers, on campus with cummins turbo diesel but they want the candidate to move to jamestown blah, i cant think of the others at the moment
Graduated from UB with a BSME in 03’, my 1st two years was rough. The career and planning office was a joke. They didn’t do squad for me. I was dicking around and doing odd jobs such as delivering pizza, working at a machine shop as a CNC programmer and taught myself bunch of CAD softwares (Wildfire, UG, Solidworks, CATIA, ANSYS etc.). One day I got a call from a contract firm asking if I was interesting doing contract work for a major aerospace company. From that day on my career took off from there. During the last 5 yrs, I was working as a material & process engineer to structure design engineer. Take whatever you can as your first job. It’s not always something you wanted to do. Just be patient, your time will come.
i start my career monday
Congrats. Where at? Doing what?
at GM as a maintenance supervisor, I will be looking over machinery that develops parts of the powertrain, not sure what section of the plant or under who, but I’ll know soon, if i do well enough there, i can make my way into engineering, or maybe if i do well enough and like maintenance ill just stay there =p
I had the help of a standup guy get my Resume in, if he wants to make himself known he can.
bump: idk who has dealt with aerotek, but they are by far the worst staffing agency I have dealt with, they never call back and they keep moving back my start date, I’m now 4 days sitting at home doing jack shit now that I altered my schedule at delta just for weekends. I filled out all the paperwork and agreeances for salary requirements/benefits etc, Everytime I call them they say that the paperwork hasn’t gone through yet. BULL, I turned down 3 other jobs to work at GM, I am fucking livid, I even spoke to the HR manager at GM and he said he accepted me into their system and I’m ready to work, idk wtf is going on
if you have any rants/experiences with aerotech please discuss
that sucks mike, hope it works out
thanks bud, ive started applying elsewhere again, i had REALLY high hopes
Congrats on the job. You better change your signature!
I always kind of wished I had ended up in the automotive field of engineering, but I was born in the Pittsburgh area, went to CMU, got a job in Pittsburgh, and now it’s 17 years later!
I’ve been dealing with maintenance for my internship (and now temporary job) for the past 8 months, mainly developing task plans and pm schedules. I walked into a mess here, so it took me quite some time to get the ball rolling, but since it hasn’t been to bad. Its just annoying that mechanics and management never agree on the ways things should be done, and I generally get caught between the two sides.
PM me who you talked with at GM… my GFs dad is a high up over there.
Thanks guys but I think you’re missing what I’m saying, I havent even started, im getting blown off
PM’d and thanks!
I dealt with them before never have a problem with them. I got a feeling they’re billing GM way too much and both side is trying to work out a deal. You’re in the middle of it. Aerotek charges one of the highest rate for a staffing agency. I think somewhere around 3x of what you’re making.
well they called me, i start tuesday, we will see how this goes, i got diff info from WS6, he said possibly monday, idc when it is i just wanna work
The date I got was because he didn’t know if your background check had cleared, it was the “worst case” guess from how long some take to clear.
