Navigating college without resources or guidance can sometimes be an emotional and traumatic experience, Carmellia Davis-King said. Her own undergraduate experience was like that. But for students in MSU’s College of Engineering, Davis-King wants to make sure that it doesn’t happen under her watch. Davis-King is the co-curricular director of the Engineering Residential Experience in the College of Engineering. She connects what first-year engineering students learn in the classroom to interactive learning experiences. ERE students living in Wilson Hall have access to tutoring, mentoring, engineering themed presentations, conversations with executives and practitioners, student success seminars, academic advising and more. The current sponsors of the Engineering Residential Experience are General Electric and Consumers Energy. Representatives from the companies serve as role models by speaking to students about what their jobs are and helping provide a glimpse into what a student’s future could look like if they chose to work at those companies.

Hi there! My name is Mike Tresca and I’m manager of extended audiences communication at GE. As part of my responsibilities, I handle recruitment communications on our GE Careers Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and web pages.  By sharing some tips to more effectively communicate with GE, I hope I can make your GE job search easier. Today’s article is about the GE Careers Blog: http://careers.geblogs.com.

We post a new article every day on the blog at 9:30 a.m. EST.  The article includes wide ranging coverage of everything from cool GE innovations to the latest job news.  But there are a lot of static links that might help you find a job too.

The graphic in the center right links you to the job search tool on GE Careers, but you can also search right from the blog by using the text box in the upper right corner. If you’d like to continue a relationship with GE consider submitting your email to our Talent Community on the right.

In addition to viewing employee profiles and videos, we have a host of tags about a variety of topics. Here you will find a list of postings by geography, by GE business, and other relevant topics like renewable energy, healthymagination, and innovation. One of our most popular tags is Recruiter Advice, where this article will be archived for future reference. At the bottom right is our Blogroll listing other GE blogs and a list of links to GE social media. 

You’re welcome to comment on any blog post, but please do keep your comments on topic.  We try to respond to every comment posted, but sometimes we receive personal inquiries that aren’t appropriate for a public forum like a blog.  In that case you will be direct to gerecruiting@corporate.ge.com, which I also manage.  We use that email to address individual questions, comments, and concerns of a personal nature.

One thing you should never do is post your contact information as a comment.  You can always share your personal information via email with a recruiter at a later date.  Speaking of oversharing, please do not post your entire resume into the comments field of the blog.  I moderate all comments and will be forced to edit or remove your post if it contains too much personal information.

If you’re looking for a specific type of job, be sure to post what function or business you’d like to work in and where (country, state, or city). In my experience, these two factors make it easiest for us to help you find a job.  For some ideas on where to start, see our business, function, and location tabs on our web site: http://jobs.gecareers.com/group/

GE calls it the “industrial Internet.” It’s about giving machines such as power plant turbines, jet engines, and manufacturing equipment an online connection so they can constantly send back performance information, which is analyzed to automatically alert technicians when there’s a problem. GE predicts a multibillion-dollar-a-year business selling software to support this industrial Internet, a business it projects can grow at double-digit rates through 2015. GE is staking $1 billion on this idea with a new global software center in Silicon Valley, where up to 400 people will build and market software to serve the industrial Internet.
