Depending on your level of experience, a college degree may not even be necessary for a technical position, so the popularity of your college is really not an issue. What they're really looking for is someone who'll be able to go in and do the job for which they've applied with little or no training. A college degree will help you later in your career should you decide to work your way into a management position. The best way to get into a large corporation, sadly enough, is to make a contact within the organization that can pass your resume onto one of the recruiters. It's that "not what you know but who you know, good ol' boy network". That's how I've gotten interviews with these big companies (Microsoft, Computer Associates, etc.). You should be aware that there are certain drawbacks when working for these large companies however, especially if you're just starting out. If you're just starting out, you may consider working for a smaller company first and building up your level of experience. The reason for this is that the large companies will offer very low salaries for recent college grads and it's very difficult to get large pay increases (without threatening to leave usually). It's been my experience that it's best to build up your resume first and then target the larger companies who'll be willing to pay you more when you walk through the door. When you've reached this level of experience on the other hand, you may naturally demand a little more respect than what a large company can provide to you as they see you as just another little fish in a big ocean. Best of luck!
