You guys can start looking for the opportunities at the career center website or the Human resource's websites for the openings. You can also start emailing professors for the Research Assistantships if you think that you can contribute to the research conducted by the professors. For the UMCP students, there are large no. of RA opportunity as our university conducts researches on various fields and topics. So if you want to have some good experience and want the benefits of GA, TA or RA, then be pro-active and look out for opportunities. Again your previous work experience will count only if it is related to the job which you have applied. In Fall 07, there were few students who got assistantships when they were in INDIA itself, some got when they came here and comparatively large no. of students got assistantship in second semester, I am one of those and more than 50% of the students are still in search of assistantships. Hope this answers most of the queries. Let me know if you guys need any help via by blog.
