Hello, Originally graduated with an EE degree a while back, but went an entirely different direction and didn't really end up with much experience in that field. Part of me wants to go into EE again but I feel I'd need to retrain, and I don't have the means to do that very well right now. Are...

transient, as well as more permanent problems such as shorts in the tester unit... board is runing on 3V logic and I don't want that to ever be exceeded.

I need to protect a target pcb from damage from voltage/current spikes coming from a testing unit. Any ideas of how I would go about this?

there is a 33kohm resistor that goes to each of the TAP connections to bring current down, no other protection. That should be enough, but I would like another layer.

been trying to pry that information out of corelis but they won't budge :(

Hi, got myself a boundary testing device and mainboard and want to create a breadboarded interface between the two to protect the target from any issues that crop up from our tester, which has been faulty in the past. Any tips on how I can design this with npn transitors?

Tick, what you said jives with what the non-engineer types have said in my family. Why I ask is because the suggestion flies in the face of the term "contract", but it may simply mean here that it is not a permanent position and limited to 6 months. If someone else had ditched their contract in...

Hi, just accepted a 6 month contract with a recruiter, but am still keeping myself in the market to prepare for my post contract job. My family has suggested that if one of the employers I'm interviewing with were to offer me a permanent position now rather than later, that I should basically...

I think I'll still take the time to write out a thankyou letter of sorts, but I'll keep in mind what you said tobalcane

thanks for the quick replies... yes a written letter sounds like a fantastic idea... gives me a chance to really personalize everything.

Recently attended an engineering career fair where I got a number of responses that were fairly to extremely positive. Those that were very positive told me I was a "strong" candidate and that they'd be sifting through resumes the next day, calling up the candidates they were most interested in...

ive recently been getting job propositions from various recruiters, two of which actually/amazingly are in line for the type of work I'm looking for... One from Ensynch Inc. and another from Convergenz LLC. Anyone know anything about these two? The fact that they got what kind of job I'm...

thanks for the replies everyone... from this ive simply gathered that I need to get in touch with the HR directors more directly, contacting them at regular intervals, and making sure my applications are taylored to each company. It seems though that most companies employ online application...

starting in mid december i started sending my apps out, and ive applied to almost 20 companies of interest (although at least half were just putting my resume/CL in their database)... no one has bit yet and im assuming its because of the holiday season. Is there anything I can be doing in the...

well i went to my meeting today and came out pretty pleased with how i can view aerotek... it seems to jive with what kenat was saying, a contract-to-hire type situation. Unfortunately no openings for EE's, so I'll be waiting / continuing my search.
