Looking for job in Spring. senior BS in physics

[z_patzer]

Hello,
I will be applying for re-entry to my university to complete my Physics BS in the Fall (expected graduation in Fall 2014). I have 2 summers research (in EE), 3 years machining experience and 2 physics labs classes. Has anyone been in a similar predicament? I plan to apply to as many tech companies and labs in my area (silicon valley). Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Since you will be returning to school in the fall, you should consider working as a temp until then. Find a temp agency that specializes in science/engineering placements. Often temp assignments are a good way to get your foot in the door.

My advise is to go to graduate school for something more marketable. I suspect you will have a very tough time getting a career style job with what you have posted.

That's too far ahead for me, although I want to go to grad school for physics. A temp agency sounds good, thanks.

Are you looking for a summer physics/engineering internship? If so PM me a link to your resume, linkedin or whatever.

You should focus on looking for jobs that can use your 3 years machining experience.

My current job is completely unrelated to my majors, but it pays the bills.

Would it be better for me to look for internships since I plan to return to school in Fall? I'd look at SLAC and SRI, but are there internships that do not require a transcript or letters of recommendation?
