I am graduating in May and looking for a job(s). I am looking for advice for interviews, anything I can get would be a big help. Its a bit overwhelming, and I am not sure how to answer questions like "Why us?", "Why are you interested in what we do?", etc. Its all a bit overwhelming.
A little background on me:
- My Gpa is under 3.0 (I transfered in with a 3.9 =( ), mostly because I am ADHD and suck at taking exams (and because my daughter has medical complications and I missing about 1/2 of every semester). I do go to a good school, which is top 20 ranked for CS.
- I am a veteran. I was a Navy Intelligence Specialist with a TS/SCI clearance. I am still clearable, and the clearance has lapsed.
- I have 2 years of SysAdmin/Dev experience as I work on campus in the CS Research Center running the Data Center and general Help Desk stuff including Scripting/Developing Software Applications for HelpDesk Support/etc.
- I have no particular "interest" in any specific market other than what pays, because I went back to school to support the high cost of supporting my daughter (She cost us $16k out of pocket last year, total the insurance paid out: $112k), and to provide for my wife and other child.
