I’ve only ever had one set of interviews, which was for my current job right out of my MS degree. Honestly, the interview process terrifies me and I never really want to do it again.

The part I hate the most is "references". I hate asking people for favours, and this is likely one of the worst things to ask a person, to me. I wouldn't mind doing it for anyone though. |

When asked about my previous accomplishments I stated I married a hot younger chick once.

I do need sponsorship which understandably is something a lot of companies are not looking forward to because it's anywhere from $5k-10k and a shit ton of paperwork Quote:
I do know a shit ton of foreign Aero majors here though, it's great that they're pursuing education here but they all know they can't do much with that here... |

If you need sponsorship that's a different story. Sorry about that, it's a shitty position to be in but you're smart and graduating college locally, you'll find the right fit and they'll invest in you to get you.

I know a lot of kids that needed sponsorship that ended up getting sent back to India. You need to be exemplary if you want to beat out all of your peers who won’t need the additional investment.

I can easily give a handful of names I have worked with. If you work in close collaboration where you always give it your best, people will want to repay you however they can. And interview process is terrifying? I guess you don't often sit in boardrooms filled with customers or prospects then. After that, you are never again impressed from a recruiter. |

Interviewing for jobs is terrible. I DESPISE it. I'm also terrible at in person interviews. Uncomfortable as hell sitting there in a suit, some stranger that, most times, I'm smarter than asking me stupid questions, I'm an introvert to begin with, blah blah

I have to say I'm glad that I have not encountered this, but then again I've not sat on the other side of the desk in about 10 years. I have thrown out "Thank you for time, but I don't think you would be a good fit for our company. Good luck on your job search." half way through interviews before. The look on their faces is genuinely priceless.

That's the thing. If you aren't a shitty human being, people generally want you to be successful and are more than willing to write a reference letter or be listed as one on your resume. In all of the places I have worked/left for a better position, each time my supervisor offered to write me a letter of reference in case I needed it in the future.
