Scene at a typical Engineering Company Information Session during Job Fair at a big US University
(Room has 3 company representatives, one stereotypical corporate PPT on the screen, 25-odd graduate students, around 50% of them Indian, and one large table with half a dozen boxes of pizza)
Company Representative: (after 15 minutes of reading from PowerPoint slides) Okay, that was all about us. There are many reasons why you should consider joining our company...
Indian Student: (wonders) Hhmm.. let's hear...
Rep: We offer three weeks paid vacation per year...
Stud: Ok...

ReplyDeleteDepends. Company Info Sessions are of three types-
Good (Pizza before start of ppt)
Bad (Pizza in middle of ppt)
Ugly (Pizza after ppt and questions)
:P
Today, we had a career fair and I spoke to this company for fifteen mins after which they asked me whether I had US citizenship or permanent residency. When I replied in negative, I was told the following "First get your permanent residency and then contact us. I am sure we would have some openings for you then."
