Since I didn’t get the job offer that I wanted for the next work term, I’ll be staying in Waterloo doing some extra courses as my “Plan B”. I’ve got the preliminary go ahead by the ECE department, so it is only a matter of paper pushing to make it official. What is “it”? A [...]

I made an extra effort this term to seek for jobs outside of the Jobmine system because there simply wasn’t enough jobs that is a good match for my interests, technical skills, and business experiences. My last job at Business Objects was, I’d say, the job with the widest set of responsibility that I could [...]

Kind of insane? Oh yea. There’s only one employer info session that I have scheduled in too. There’s also a bunch of things that didn’t make it into the calendar this week… i.e. passport renewal, student loan interest free paperwork, etc etc. =(
I think this term will end up like the 2B schedule in the [...]

I just finished packing about 80% of my stuff and I am about to go shower and call it quites for the day. But this term, the packing was done a lot quicker than I had thought it would take me. There’s also a lot less boxes for some reason.

I was at the ginormous RIM Info Session this afternoon at Fed Hall today and I must say I was impressed by the scale of the recruitment event. They had small booth set ups around all of the first and second floors. Students can go and talk to each individual “team” and find out more [...]

Yes… I’ll have to say I’ve one-uped myself on the work term report this time. Well.. in fact, all 1600 extra words of them… compared to the previous work term report. This one is not lacking in figures and tables too to take up some space. Both reports are 36 page cover to cover beasts [...]

Some jobs are added in the JobMine system already and I had a look at them yesterday. Besides the usual types of jobs that I apply to, I am going to be adding one more type to the list. It’ll be quite challenging to get a job in that field, and the work conditions might [...]

It brings tears to my eyes to see that the ECE department is now caring more for the students. The ECE receptionists/assistants are now sacrificing their precious lunch hour to let us hand in work term reports during lunch. *sniff*
Just a quick reminder that work term reports are due on Monday Sept, 17th. [...]
