<p>Hey guys, I'm gonna be a rising senior in the coming Fall, and I plan on to moving on to Master of Engineering right after. So basically, I'll be finishing school in the winter of Fall 2014 with M.Eng in mechanical engineering.</p>
<p>But just a general question, as I have been recently afraid of.
Does anyone know if a lot of companies (aircraft companies, to be specific or, just general technical companies) will look into recruitments from the fresh graduates during winter time?</p>
<p>My initial thought was that since companies know that many graduates graduate in May/June, they will want to spend time in hiring during those time periods. But will they also want to hire during like Nov/Dec, as well?</p>
<p>Not sure if this will be a huge factor, but I'm an international student from Korea.</p>
<p>Thanks, any relevant input is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>they hire all year round. Technical companies realize engineering rarely ends on time, also entry level employees don’t advance/leave during graduation season only. There are always holes in a company’s roster.</p>
<p>Companies typically hire year round, depending on when they have vacancies or are creating new positions. You can also be job hunting before your exact graduation date. It’s possible (and great, if you can manage it!) to graduate with a job already in hand.</p>
<p>Major companies recruit full time employees in the fall and interns in the spring. If I were you, I would look at companies starting this fall. You may be able to snag a job in 2013 for a 2015 start date (not likely, but not unheard of). If you wait until November/December of your graduation year, you’ve waited too long. Being available before the summer could be an advantage, though some companies wait to have a single recruitment class that starts in June/July… it may be a little different for someone graduating from a master’s program.</p>
<p>You need to go talk to Cornell’s career services department ASAP. They will give you advice about planning that will make this process a lot clearer.</p>
