Question
Paul, I will be completing my Instrumentation engineering this June. I want to get into NASA.What are my chances?IS there any other thing that I should do before trying for a JOB IN NASA?I also happen to know many languages.Will that help?

Answer
Sid - you didn't mention your nationality.  Assuming you are a U.S. citizen, you have as much chance as any fresh out.  I suggest looking at the NASA websites and following the links to job categories that are open. Languages always help, but lack of experience could be a problem.  An alternate path to full employment could be an internship or working as a contractor.  That gets your foot in the door.  Good luck.
