Tufts SWE teamed up with GE Aviation to explore career opportunities in the field of flight! On September 15th, 2011, employees from GE enjoyed dinner with Tufts students. Afterwards, six GE employees formed a panel and answered questions about working for a large company, pursuing an MBA, and making yourself stand out with your resume. The panelists represented a variety of GE employees– one panelist has worked for GE for 2 years, while another panelist has been a GE employee for over 25 years! Some panelists mentioned being glad to have worked for GE because they were given many career opportunities within the company. Another panelist encouraged students to apply for rotational programs. This event was attended by members of Tufts SWE, former interns at GE Aviation, other engineers from Tufts, and members of the Tufts Financial Group. The event was great preparation for our university’s upcoming Career Fair. After the event, some the panelists got candid and suggested they paint the cannon on the academic quad (a Tufts tradition) with the GE logo the night before the Career Fair! The only catch– you have to stay up all night and guard your work!
