<p>Good to see this topic is still alive. I had a lot of interviews senior year. Many sent letters saying they didn’t hire anyone. Many only hired one person so it was almost luck based. The fact that I didn’t have internship experience doing design work hurt me, but other than that I think my credentials are pretty good. The only job offer I got was doing safety work in Louisiana, which actually paid pretty well. I didn’t really want to devote my life to safety, so I decided to go to graduate school on a research assistantship. I guess it’s kind of like doubling down, but I get a stipend, so it’s at the very least a job.</p>
