Q&A With Sharp Electronics Employees

Positive attitude, self-starter, strong work ethic, enthusiasm.

Just how many opportunities there exists for professional growth--mentorship program, on-line Sharp University training, volunteering, etc.

There's no single answer. Varies by the individual conducting the interview process.

Business casual, including jeans and tennis shoes.

Sharp does not currently offer paternity leave.

Over the years it's transformed into a formal program of hiring summer interns (some year-round interns too from local colleges) who are placed in different parts of the organization. There are scheduled activities that bring them together as a group and also with opportunities to interact with management.

Yes, Sharp is looking to add recent grads who can start out in entry-level positions, bring a fresh perspective, and over time, advance into positions of greater responsibility. It's not unusual to run across colleagues who have been here 20, 25, 30+ years.

People who are knowledgeable in their functional role, self-starters, team players, and have a strong work ethic. They should be reliable and show enthusiasm and a positive attitude. With a growth mindset, there's an opportunity for advancement to leadership positions.

Usually annually, in the mid to late summer.
