On the other hand, I know one manager who specifically looks for FIRST experience when hiring. He just doesn't find that many applicants. Four or five years ago when FIRST was starting out here, we must have had a whole 30 or 40 graduates to spread around one of the most populated areas of the country. It's no surprise they're hard to find.
Last year I hired a FIRST student for Summer Internship and he is still working for us.
This year I hired another FIRST student for Summer Internship and I planning to keep him on as a full-time intern.
FIRST students make really great interns and employees.
We now look for the candidate involved with FIRST as a benchmark for internship.
