Re: First job

A part-time job like the one you mention can be a great opportunity. Besides adding to your resume, earning some money and checking out the company, you may find it offers good learning opportunities in other areas.

For example, the company you mention makes video metrology systems, right? So you might learn some applied optics, pattern recognition techniques, quality control, precision fixturing and probably a bunch of other "tools" to put in your mental toolbox.

Like Al said, keep a "can-do" attitude, and I'll add: ask lots of questions. Even if you don't end up working full-time there, what you learn might make you a better candidate for other jobs.
