I graduated in May with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Rutgers University in New Jersey. I have not found a job yet due to lack of internship experience, but my cousin is a part of the Alumni Association for Princeton University and found a job posting from another member for a final engineering position for a new company in New York City. Based on the qualifications for the job, I meet most of the requirements, however, before Monday I have to refresh/learn about circuit design for power applications. The job sounds like it's more for an Electrical Engineer, but the CEO saw my resume and scheduled a phone interview for Monday morning at 10 AM EST. If I get hired, I would be building and programming drones. So, here I sit with a Microelectronic Circuits textbook, 1400 pages long, with two days to study hard, and I am scheduled to work 11.5 hours at my part-time job between Saturday and Sunday. I really don't want to waste this guy's time, but I am desperate for a better paying job. If I am hired, I don't want to let him down either. He did say that entry-level engineers are welcome to apply, so I guess I have that going for me.
If anyone has experience in what I have described and is going to be on xfire this weekend, I would love to join the XI teamspeak and talk, just send me a message. It would mean a lot.
