Effective channels to reach out to students (Research oriented)
<p>Hi, </p>
<p>I have been in process of reaching out to techie students for research internship proposal but haven't found much success, I have got some 10 resumes but they are very constrained in thought process and looking out of the curriculum (like adopting open source actively). I think I have something interesting to offer (that could be self absorbed opinion :)) but I think I have not reached out completely. Things I have tried so far:</p>
<ol>
<li>Posting on techstart-in groups.</li>
<li>Reaching out personally to juniors (not in pune though)</li>
<li>Twitter (but follower count matters there :P)</li>
<li>Personal blog </li>
<li>Plug mailing list (message in moderation)</li>
<li>Writing to placement officers at PICT and COEP (still in progress) </li>
<li>In progress and received some applications from SICSR</li>
</ol>
<p>What are other ways to reach out to motivated, self starters with an open mind is the question :) In any case here is the <a href="http://www.qed42.com/careers/internship" rel="nofollow">proposal</a> (feedback appreciated) and if u know someone bright and fun looking for internship please pass it on.</p>
