No news is usually bad news...
Well I'm starting to get a little bit discouraged since neither company interviewed with has gotten back to me yet. It's only been a week, but I was told in my interviews I would hear by this time. However, past experience tells me it's not uncommon for companies to get behind in intern recruiting. I did actually follow up with one company, but I was actually not given any contact information for the other, larger corporation (Fortune 10) that I'd really like to get in to.
All this recruiting junk has also made me think deep and hard about future plans as well. I think I'd like to go into technology management of some sort in the future, but I also realize that's a long-term goal. No one will listen to a young lad even if I got my MBA right out of undergrad. Ultimately, I think the only rational decision is to apply to both some grad programs and to some interesting companies and take the best offer I get.
Let me know if anyone reading this knows of any top notch IT Management grad programs or MBA's offering a concentration in technology management.
OK! As I was just about ready to submit this I got a phone call for an interview with General Mills and an email from Epic Systems Corporation asking for me to apply. Talk about ironic, I'm literally hovering over the "Publish Post" button complaining about my career prospects when I get two companies contacting me at that moment. That blows my mind, well I now have an interview next Tuesday at 3:30 PM Central!
Well I need to do some research and finish my homework.
