Slide 22

22 11/11/2014 | Daniel Hu Best succeed in an internship Be detail bring a notebook and a pen everywhere you go Networking talk to as many people in the company as possible Ask for extra work if you have extra time. Ask for reference at the end of the internship Keep the connection going

Slide 24

24 11/11/2014 | Daniel Hu Why internship? Internship is the king Universities will more likely to accept students with internship experience Discover what you love or hate to do Working experience is the most important thing for you to find a job after graduation However, GPA is the most important for engineering transfer!

Slide 25

25 11/11/2014 | Daniel Hu Please be very serious about your resume Frist thing that employers look at Be careful what to put on the first half page Order everything by relevance of the job that you apply

Slide 26

Slide 29

29 11/11/2014 | Daniel Hu Do not always trust assist.org Why does EECS major need a bunch of bio, chem classes?? Be curious, always ask why!

Slide 30

30 11/11/2014 | Daniel Hu This is the correct way Straight from EECS transfer website in Berkeley Have to finish all the Must complete on the university transfer website Best to confirm with the university counselor http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/ugrad/transfer-reqs.shtml

Slide 31

31 11/11/2014 | Daniel Hu Other transfer tips Try to take some classes outside of your major Apply for as many scholarships as you can while you are in CC Dont spend extra time to get A.A. or A.S. degree Things that I regret not doing in Chabot Take Engr 22, 43, 45, and microbiology classes

Slide 33

33 11/11/2014 | Daniel Hu After transfer Dont take too many classes in your first semester Join some clubs Try to get very high GPA This is the GPA that summer intern employers look at As always! Find internship opportunities
