NETWORK ENGINEER

 

Recent College Grad with Computer Degree - Network Engineer

Join a year-old startup with a rapidly growing customer base. We specialize in high-end
network integration--an intensively detailed-oriented business. If you had solid technical
training in college, are meticulous in planning and documenting your work, are ready to
be trained further for a highly lucrative career, and want to be well-compensated at the
outset for your time and expertise, we want to talk to you!

What you need to bring to the table:

-Microsoft Windows knowledge¡Xand lots of it. We¡¦ll give you a test when you first
walk in the door. You don¡¦t have to be an MCSE, but you do need to know Windows and
how to apply that knowledge to real-world scenarios. We¡¦ll also assess your knowledge
of network security principles, infrastructure and protocols.

-Willingness to study for certification exams on your own time.

-People skills. A large part of the job is communicating with customers and evaluating
their IT needs in order to design and implement an appropriate solution.

-Meticulous attention to detail. We try to do as much configuration, staging and testing of
equipment as we can before delivery to the customer.

-Communication skills. You need to be able to deal with customer requests on-site, over
the phone, on and via e-mail.

-Flexible schedule, including some nights and weekends. Nobody wants to install a file
server on Saturday morning or from 6-10 pm on a Tuesday night, but that¡¦s the way this
business works. With us, however, you won¡¦t just get a pat on the back¡Xyou¡¦ll be
compensated.

What we¡¦ll do for you:

-Training. We will work together to sharpen and develop your computer expertise and
will pay for your certification tests.

-Compensation. Engineers at most companies are expected to work 40+ hours a week for
straight salary. You¡¦ll work extra hours for us too, but we will compensate you for
billable hours on nights and weekends.

-Benefits. From day one, you get a retirement plan (with company matching), travel
expenses, vacation and sick time off. We also provide a generous benefits package
including health, dental and life insurance coverage.

-A non-corporate environment. If you¡¦ve had to deal with levels of bureaucracy, memos
documenting your existence, rigid guidelines that don¡¦t apply to real-world situations,
and all the trappings of the corporate world, then you¡¦ll appreciate the down-to-earth
atmosphere we provide. We work hard, but we enjoy what we do, and we hope you do
too.

Please submit resume with cover letter.

My Internship Opened Doors to Professional Software Development

During my final semester at Plattsburgh State, I worked as an Intern at Nexnevo Consulting, Inc. At Nexnevo, I helped develop ASP.NET Web Applications and enterprise XML Web Services. This afforded me the opportunity to apply much of the knowledge I had gained at Plattsburgh State and also opened a door to professional software development with modern technology. Needless to say, working at Nexnevo was a very fulfilling experience

Chris Arena

Chris Arena recently set up a Book Exchange website for our Student Association so that students could buy and sell their used textbooks directly to one another. This involved building a content-driven website (like Amazon.com).

Robert LaVoie and Chowdhury Barua

Two other interns, Robert LaVoie and Chowdhury Barua worked together to interface the output from a light-measuring device at the Biology department to the input port of a PC. The measurements are converted into a form that can be displayed and analyzed in an Excel spreadsheet.

Internship, Co-Op, Service Learning, and Volunteer Requirements

The Career Development Center, located on the second floor of the Kehoe Administration Building, in cooperation with our Department, administers programs that give students the opportunity to gain professional career-related experiences. These opportunities include:

Co-Ops and internships provide valuable work experience prior to graduation, enhance responsibility, maturity and self-confidence, and allow students to establish future employment contacts. Interested students should consult the newsletter published by Career Development Center that lists available jobs and application deadlines.

Whatever the student level, it is essential to plan and prepare early in your college career for the kind of hands on experience you desire. Therefore, new students are encourage to contact the Career Development Center as soon as possible. Students are encourage to work with their advisors as soon as they have determined that they would like to include a hands-on experience as a part of their college work.

Please visit http://faculty.plattsburgh.edu/jan.plaza/csc-web/undergraduate/internships.html to view announcements directly from employers who are looking for computer science interns, the most recent adds on top.

Internships

Internships are limited to students at the junior and senior level, and provide academic credit. Students involved in internships must be registered in CSC 498 before entering upon the internship. The number of credits to be awarded in an internship is determined by the Computer Science Department, based upon the experiences to be included, at the time of registration, with a grade (usually Pass or Fail) awarded upon submission of satisfactory documentation by the student and evaluation by the internship employer at the conclusion of the experience.

Cooperative Education (Co-Ops)

Co-Ops may be credit or non-credit paid work experiences. It is noted that the Department frowns upon the award of academic credit for paid experiences, unless there are extenuating circumstances. When credit is to be awarded, the procedures are the same as for an internship. Although Co-Ops are usually limited to students at the upper levels, some Co-Ops are suitable for freshman and sophomore level students.

Service Learning and Volunteering

Service Learning or Volunteer experiences are non-credit, non-paid placements open to all students. Volunteer experiences are ideal for students who are unsure of career choices since they provide an avenue for testing and evaluating various career options.
