hi, i just got an GT offer from validation and test solution department from intel. any advice?

Green or blue badge ?

If I am not mistaken, GT is green badge.

I thought GT is supposed to be blue badge?
But they said its an 1 year contract thing. and after that they will see if they want to convert me into permanent.

just check with my intel manager fren, GT is green.

Green mean contract worker. Will not enjoy all Intel benefits.

Good luck

Previously GT is blue badge but they are not truely blue badge (not enjoy all benefits that true blue badge gets).
Because of hiring freeze (headcount has to be flat), new GT are now hired as contract worker and no longer under Intel.

haha, so should i consider this as a good thing or a bad thing?

I was a GT with Intel, in year 2005. I was enjoying myself a lot when I was there in the Penang office. However, I have left after 1 year as a GT as I am from KL. Penang was fun though~ I was with the design team that time.

I would say Intel provides a very good training ground for fresh graduates. However, don't treat it as a "training but no real work" place. Intel will provide a lot of training for new graduates, and DO remember to work and give your outputs back to your team.

So, my advice to you is go for it and learn! Along the way, you will understand what work means and find your interest in work.

Good luck! :-)

Haha, i see. Good to hear that
As a fresh grad i don't expect much tho. I think its great to be offered the 1year. I need time to find out what i want, really. So, i accepted the offer
And YES-YES, i will always remember to work.

how is the current business situation in Intel?

According to one of my friends, the business still very bad. Intel also keep very low inventory nowaday and only build if there is firm order coming in.

Orders are low , some lines are ideal..
every department is talking about cost cutting..

Cant survive long...just matter of times been cut more ppl in few months later...

hi.. when u get the offer? u apply through Jobstreet? or..? since when u apply the job?
i will be grad by end of April, but still have no any offer from any company...
any advice?
