I'm a few days late, but here's some job thoughts

When I visited Iowa for their Advanced weekend, I got the chance to talk with a lot of current students and graduates about their company placements and internships.

Companies a few of my classmates are working for

• Sears 
• United Airlines
• Delta Airlines 
• Unilever 
• Darden
• United Stationers
• Amazon

Well, the list could go on for quite a while but you get the point. The best advice anyone gave me was starting the search early, so ideally I'll have the luxury of being picky. So I went a head and made a bookmark folder called "Internship Search" and took to the web determined to find some good prospects. 

Here's a couple of companies I'm looking into

• SES 
• AT and T
• Verizon
• Johnson and Johnson (the holy grail of consumer good internships clearly) 
• Pfizer (also holy grail of consumer goods because there are multiple holy grails)

Thats just a taste of course.

I've also completely revamped my resume into "Iowa Formatting" and set up a starting point interview with the Iowa Career center. 

If anyone else has thoughts or connections at these companies I would love to hear them. I'm hoping that doing the leg work now will enhance my prospects.
