The discussion revolves around preparing for job interviews, specifically for co-op positions in environmental and mechanical engineering. Participants share advice and personal experiences related to interview preparation, strategies, and the emotional aspects of facing interviews for the first time.
Participants generally agree on the importance of preparation and maintaining a positive attitude during interviews. However, there are differing opinions on the value of specific job opportunities, such as working for a paper company, which remains a point of personal uncertainty for one participant.
Some participants reference personal experiences and emotional responses to interviews, which may not apply universally. There is also a lack of consensus on the perceived value of certain job opportunities.
Individuals preparing for job interviews, particularly students in engineering fields, may find the shared experiences and advice relevant to their own situations.
Reminds me of that night with Princess Diana...Physics is Phun said:
. I don't think I'll have much competition because the interview sign up sheet had only my name on it 
...doesn't look like too many mechanical engineering students want to work for a paper company over the summer. Do you think it's a bad idea to waste a summer with a paper company? Anyways, all I can tell you is to do your research on the company because you want to have an idea of what they're doing and how it relates to what you like. Good luck.
