<p>Hi everyone,
I have just graduated (international student) and thinking of going to grad school in engineering in the US. now i am applying for both internship and a job, and should be successful with both. Here is the question, since I will be applying for 2008, my work experience would be as little as 2-3 months at the time I applied, so instead of a real job, should I do an internship?</p>
<p>Intenship: in an engineering department of a major international company that everyone knows. (8-12 weeks.)</p>
<p>job: local engineering company that no one has heard of. although they do some big projects with major company. (work until i go study or get fired.)</p>
<p>which one would be better in term of application-wise, since I plan to really work seriously after grad school anyway. This is more or less my gap year to gain some experience. </p>
<p>thank you for your advices</p>
