Advice to Jobseekers
The degree is specific - no joy; a solid background in all facets
of electronics required; test equipment proficiency a must; must
be able to read drawings/schematics and make repairs, adjustments
in equipment; and definitely pass on practical measurement
techniques to students along with a solid theoretical background
in English without unneccessary mathematical rigor - the basics,
and nothing else; performance must equal resume scope or 90 days
finds you out the door.
