Comment College job postings? (Score 1) 540
I would recommend two things;
1. Check your college's job postings. A lot of colleges let alumni go through the job postings.
2. Be open to what you at willing to work with. Don't put at the top of your resume, "seeking a job where I can utilize my java skills".
I work for a small software company (ERP software), and we hire 90% of our programmers direct from colleges. We also work with slightly less common technology (Progress Openedge Database, Progress 4gl code, .Net front end). Thing is, we prefer people with little/no experience, because we don't inherit as many bad habits. People adapt easier to coding standards, etc.
So if we don't look for experienced people, what are we looking for? Passion. Work Ethic. Personality. Problem solving, logic, ability to learn. Honestly specific technical skills/experience rates a lot lower.
