I have an oh so burning desire to work at Yahoo now as a human computer interaction engineer. Currently I know of two blogs of people who are working at Yahoo and from the way they describe it, it seems like a nice homey place. According to this, they have everything that little geek person like me needs – you know, \”healthy\” food, gym, gift shop…non-smokers (because you know, geeks tend to be allergic to everything – have you ever seen me in a Bath and Body store? Yes. exactly.)
A few weeks ago I went to the Career fair and met a rep from Yahoo. I think I was able to give a positive impression as he chose to give my friend and me each a XL Yahoo t-shirt. I also took the step to ask for his business card. Unfortunately due to neglect and common forgetfulness, I forgot to send the obligatory thank you e-mail for him coming all the way from South Bay to Berkeley.
Send it now!
i sure would like the chance to work at Yahoo or Google. of course i bet that\’s pretty cliché. i\’d aim more for the coding/web construction i think.
yes, email him now and tell him you want the job. :P
Just outta curiousity, how does that XL shirt fit you anyways?
i wear the shirt to go niteee!!!
Mostly though I want to be a Human Computer Interaction engineer. That\’s why Yahoo or Google. I am not sure what other places have demand for that.
one word, MICROSOFT :D. Working at Yahoo would be uber cool though. I was going to apply for an internship at MS for this summer…haven\’t gotten around to it yet..
Microsoft looks for software engineer and business people. For any of these high-profile companies, it\’s incredibly hard to get a position with them without knowing somebody or doing well academically. I know someone who worked in Microsoft as a business intern and now he works there full time. He graduated in the top of his class. Hard. Want to try Oracle, Alec?
Naim tried Oracle, and didn\’t make it, somehow i don\’t think I would do any better.
