32/34

Grade and Graduation project

Is the grade important?

For Master Most companies the Grade is included in their evaluation like

communication companies and some electronics companies likementor.There are some companies that dont care about grade likeembedded and network companies (Valeo)

Is the graduation project important?

It is very in increasing your chances to be accepted if it is in thesame field you apply for.


33/34

Soft Skills

It is very important to have excellent softskills to be accepted in the job you wish.Your technical knowledge alone doesnt pay.

So you must make a good CV (there aretemplates in the word that are helpful)And you must be familiar with interview

questions (Seminars, websites, othersexperience)
