Campus Interviews

Seems like the US economy slowdown is impacting directly/indirectly the software companies recrutiment too for the fresh hires (ie the students/employees) who comes via campus interviews. With campus interviews round the corner, many of the companies are shying away from the heavy recruitment that they do in various colleges, companies who generally selects 50 odd engineers from single college are now targetting only 5-10 engineers.
Lot of students asks me on how to get the best job in the current time, the best method for engineers to score a nice job amidst this slowdown is to concentrate on 2 factors:
1) Projects tuneup as per the latest market needs and demands: Planning your final or pre-final year project in such a way to match what the companies are actually doing or are planning to do that. This requires expert guidance from industry experts.
2) Improving Interview and behavioral skills to get automatic advantage over other class fellows.

With this even if the economy is slow, you will be getting the best job.
