For those who've interviewed already My interview was pretty straightforward. It was 30 mins long and I wasn't asked about my CV. Rather, they wanted to know how interested I would be in their proposed project for the summer. It more like a conversation than anything else. Plus I got to ask a lot of questions.

momo1129 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 sigh, it seems like I've been matched for like 2 weeks without any empoyer reaching out to me. Anyone else designate a national lab as their preferred sponsor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those who've interviewed already How did you get contacted? I keep thinking I won't respond to a call because I think it is spam but it is actually a GEM representative lol or that it they email me it will go to spam.

I got a phone call from the employer, at first I didn't answer since it was an unknown number but then they left a voicemail and I called back to set up a date and zoom to chat. Definitely do answer you phone calls, you never know. FlamingSenchi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questions4435 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 do your schools still say pending verification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana12 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I first got matched to a company and scheduled an interview then earlier in the week I got an email for a national lab to work there. I didn't know you can be contacted by multiple employers. I had put the national lab and the other company as my top choices. I hope everyone who got matched also gets contacted soon, best of luck everyone Also my schools still says pending as well, nothing has changed.

MangoFlan Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I was contacted via email by a GEM employer (national lab) yesterday, and then had the interview the same day through video. Interview was casual; I told them about myself and then we had a back-and-forth conversation about the industry, company, and the potential position.

According to an email I got, GEM will reach out to the universities you listed to confirm that you actually applied. They'll start this process sometime next month. You shouldn't have to do anything unless they can't find your application. Edited December 15, 2021 by FlamingSenchi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaofTerra Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 So on my application portal it says today employer status matched but I haven't received any emails, calls, or anything. Does it mean like they interested but not enough to offer. Employer Member Status:Matched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cshopeful614 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) On the portal for GEM Selects, it states we have to accept by Dec. 31st. Have you all received or do you know if we should receive the actual offer letter from the company with the intern salary information prior to this date?

You should communicate with your point of contact at the company. You can accept the offer on the GEM portal without having the offer details in hand. cshopeful614 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo1129 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 did any of you get a "held" status before being selected? It has been taking a while to get an update after this status change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyan Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 for these who already got offer, what are you guys background? Since, I am still not match until today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Calorie Sweetner Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I am sure that everyone's selection criteria varies per individual, but here is my current background. GPA: 3.45 3 previous internships University research experience, with a poster presentation 3 strong letters of recommendation Strong personal statement Some extracurricular activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagales14 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Honestly, I've got almost 4 years worth of work experience after receiving my bachelors and I've been doing Systems Engineering for a Gov Satellite for almost 2 of those years now. Didn't have any internships and my GPA sucked. I've been matched with one company, GEM has alerted me that I have a response from another company, and I reached out to a third. If there's a place you really want to work for following your graduate studies, it's worth reaching out to a recruiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
