Interview with Continental


Earlier this month I had an interview with Continental AG. They make tires, brake systems, and automotive safety. I applied through Georgia Tech and the interview was for simulation and modeling of the thermal process of injection molding for their products and the modeling of stresses of their products (for example, what happens when you press a button). The men who interviewed with me were really laid back and awesome. The interviewers spoke in English but I spoke in German. In Germany, you work in bequeme Kleidung (comfortable clothes), where everyone is in jeans. The location was in a small town Villingen in Baden-Würtenburg. I had a tour of the production line and everything was so clean. I then saw where they work and it was a nice room similar to other engineering sections with cubicles, but they had no tall walls to divide. I was really excited.

Some some notes about the travel to and from.
I traveled from Munich which took 6 hours by train each way. They said they would pay for it.
I thought I would have time to check out other small cities around like Rotweil and bought the Region Cards for Bayern and Baden-Wurtenburg which costs 20 Euros each. You have to take the Region trains which stop in more cities. It took me 7 hours to go home, because of all the snow.
