Dreamers!!!

I will graduate this year with a full-time job offer as an Electrical Engineer. The offer is for one of the best known leadership programs in the world.

Some of you may remember from previous posts how I received an internship last year but it was rescind because of DACA. HR thought that I needed sponsorship in the future because of the expiration time. The managers helped me solve this problem and were able to make DACA not a problem anymore.

I am very excited and happy for this new career. The upcoming years will be tough but I will make the best of it.

Moral of the story: Keep applying to the company you want and speak out about your status. If you do not speak out nobody will help. Also get a good GPA in school it does matter more than work experience.

When I received my internship offer it was a 3.82. I applied for the full time job with a 3.74. I want to say the 3.82 helped me get noticed.

My GPA is just passable. When I was in community college, I have a 3.75, but when I transfer to a university, I can only maintain a 3.15. hopefully it is enough to land myself an internship.

Hey Piano I do agree with you. I seen people get into Sikorsky and are not the best engineers. It is about who you know.

Congrats!!! Sorry I don't post much, but Im with Chyno on this, just keep trying guys!!! I started interviewing even before I got DACA, I did many, until I landed one dream job with a company really good for CS students. Also, as a recommendation start with the companies you like the least, and take it as practice, so you'll be ready for that one you want. Good luck to everyone!!!

You just gotta distinguish yourself from the crowd, if you don't have the best GPA around, at least have some work to put in your resume, side projects outside not require to graduate, and generally network with anyone you think might be of help later in life
