So...Jackie is annoyed w/ GE. Basically last May I gave a poor presentation. I got too nervous. But this time around went really well. But...due to last time, they've decided not to ask me back. Now, I didn't like the job and had no true intention of staying, but this makes me mad. My manager gave me a good review and said I've improved immensly. I know more about the process. I have some projects in production. I've gone through and successfully passed many project reviews, but based on 5 min of nervousness (which I clearly got over this time), they don't want me. I know more and have done more than many other co-ops. This makes me angry that everything is based on 1 presentation. The big problem is that they only want co-ops who they think will excell in their Edison program. This is a competitive program and they look at everything. Confidence is key, I know that. But there's a lot more co-op positions than Edison positions. My boss said I make a good project leader and he would have no problem hiring me as an engineer, but no... I'm annoyed. *sigh* oh, well.
