Just sharing personal experience, that’s how I landed my current position.

Lots of applicants across North America.

Your best bet is to attend every coffee chat/info session - attendance is tracked. Obviously have a competitive resume with good internships/leadership positions. Referrals are also a good way

Probably an effect of the state of the economy. Get the student on FB for referrals

I think so. I’ve applied to about 25 firms and only got about 5 interviews. Last year recruiting was a lot easier from others experience.

Thats not bad though keep it up

Almost everyone also overhired, definitely a factor. So many existing hires on the beach.

Yes, in the past 5 years there has been a shift among firms to get most of their full time class via intern return offers. With this as well the economy doing poorly, FT spots are certainly much more limited than usual

Hi folks, I have been working as a functional IT Presales associate for the past 2 years. I have been actively looking for jobs in MNC's but hardly got any luck. Can anyone please guide me how and for which posts i can apply for big companies. To give a small brief about myself, I have been mainly responsible for presenting product demos, preparing proposals and responding to RFP's in my current company.

Any guidance would be really helpful.
