For me, and for many other grads, I gathered relevant experience BEFORE
graduating, both with summer jobs and my co-op term. This is a good idea
for ANY student. Just think, a whole bunch of you will be graduating at
the same time, doesn't it seem like a good idea to have some relevant
experience before your graduation day?
So, my answer to you is yes, a new grad could easily fill those
requirements. Telecom wasn't my area, so if you replace that with say
prototype electronics design or something like that I would have been a
perfect match for that job the day I graduated.
