I've pretty much decided that I want to work in Austin after I graduate this december. I know, I know, I posted a jobs thread a few months back, but this is a bit more specific. I'm trying to find places in Austin to apply as an entry-level mechanical engineer. Thus far I've applied to:

Accenture
Dell
L-3
Motion Computing
Motorola
National Instruments
Samsung
Signature Sciences, LLC
Texas Instruments
URS

6 of those I've applied for specific positions with, the other 4 just submitted my resume in general. Any other suggestions? I've looked up some of the other big companies, but not found any relevant jobs. I'm sure there are places I'm overlooking.

Coolio, I always forget about newspaper listings. Craig's List.... eh... not so great for jobs from what I've seen.

And I'll come drink with you and high five, but I probably won't get drunk. wink.gif

No. tongue.gif

Why the warning about NI? They're one of the ones I haven't applied for a specific job with anyway.

I felt the same way in my NI experience. The campus was cool and some of the people were alright but overall it was a weird atmosphere.

I'm just really hoping the interview I did this morning and stuff that I did with Occidental Oil and Gas pays off, I was really pretty impressed with that company and think it'd be a great job for me they had available...

In Grand Junction CO no less smile.gif

Which would be pretty sweet I think.

definently...

and for some reason they really like me... I've got another interview with them today... even after I didnt get an offer from the on site... apparently thats pretty rare...

I'd really prefer to be somewhere with mountains...

Oh yeah, forgot you were down there with us...

They kept leading Ty and I on. Randy kept sending me e-mails with "we're interested and would like to bring down to Austin again" but then never sent me an invite down there. Whateva...
