Re: Question for FIRST Alumni

It's all about those connections. You may have heard it before, but it is very true.

I got my first job as an Autodesk intern directly because it was a FIRST internship. I had technical knowledge that they needed (LabVIEW), and so my mentor introduced me to the Autodesk employee. Without this, I wouldn't have thought to apply.

My next job I got because my friend worked there and they needed to fill an open slot. Same with my current internship, a friend was able to recommend me.
