Here recently I've turned in internships to two different companies.
The first internship and the one I hope to get is at ADM(Archer Daniels Midland). I would be a programmer/analyst programming in COBOL for their IBM mainframe. It would be a great job, and I hope to get it. ADM works directly with my college, and I passed both of the COBOL programming courses with an A+.
The second and alternative internship is to Tate and Lyle for helpdesk. If I can't get the above internship, then I'll be working heldesk. I have enough experience in that, unfortunately. I'll take it if I have to! =P
Wish me luck.

Good luck James. Hope the best turns out in either Internship. I'm sure you'll get the first one you said with those grades. :D

Programming in COBOL? O_O
| |
Aye, COBOL.
Update: Tate and Lyle called me back. They got back to me within two days(not too oddly, it's for a helpdesk intern). They said it would take several months to train me for the job, and since I graduate this year it wouldn't offer them any work from me. They didn't seem to want to hire me full time afterwards, so it would be pointless. Still waiting to hear anything from ADM. Here is the job info: ____________________________________________________________ ______________ Requirements Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) is a world leader in agricultural processing.

Heh, at least you're doing better then me. I'm still waiting for school to find me an internship (like 10 weeks now) and all I do in the mean time is sit at home playing games lol. Good luck Jamez0r
P.S. Helpdesk sucks major ass | |
FETCH ME COFFEE, INTERN
| |
I'd be more than happy to fetch you coffee, for $20 an hour. ;)

Update: I've got on for the rest of the semester at our city's Civic Center. I'm going to be helping them do some work on the city webpage in VB.Net, ASP, and Javascript. Mainly doing logins on their webpage so that contractors and inspectors can directly access the database and check on some information(or, that's what I'm told so far).
| |
Sounds fun. =)
| |
For $20 an hour I'd expect to be allowed to deliver no fewer than two but no more than four nut shots per day.
| |
Ouch. No deal. =(
