Title: I have an Interview at Raytheon
Post by: redmenace on May 12, 2005, 11:09:55 am: I have an Interview at Raytheon!

I am looking for a business intership and they are interested. On a side note, anyone know any good internship companies?

If you get the job, you're going to have to hook me up with some long-range AA guns. You know, to keep the pigeons away.

Yup. I don't really want the job though; firstly it's Oracle (which I'm not interested in), secondly the moneys pish (£17k; they told me £23k when they approached me, which is the only reason I applied), and thirdly I'm more interesting in Fujitsu and Amazon (the other 2 big companies I've applied to).

It's annoying as hell looking for work, because there aren't many interesting graduate jobs in Scotland (at least for me - I can't / don't want to work in a job that isn't interesting).

Post by: redmenace on May 13, 2005, 04:32:49 pm: I am just a little worried that they think I have a degree in engineering. I switched majors in 2003. The email I recieved says I have to meet with their engineering staff. Unfortunatly, I have not been able to get ahold of the woman from HR that contacted me.

Ok. If you'd done Computer Science or similar it could have made sense (if engineering included their embedded systems design); but does sound like they goofed up a bit.
