Career Fair
A career fair can be many things to many people, but to a senior it's like a hodgepodge of employers just looking for someone like them. I unfortunately am one of those seniors who went to the fair with no clue as of to what I want to do with the rest of my life. What can an English major do??
So my day started off alright American Lit boring as usual. Then I come home to print out a couple of resumes. Now having my resume is important when I want to apply for jobs. My printer decides that it wants to fly out the window, so it prints smiley faces for the second time this semester. Instead of my name and address there was smiley face! frickin smiley faces! I wanted to fling out the window and watch it tumble to the ground, but the realized my window doesn't open that far. After smacking it and yelling it finally printed my four resumes.
I went to a publishing company/literary agency in Pittsburgh and applied for an internship for next semester so keeping my fingers crcossed for that one. Then I went to Gateway Newspapers. BAD Idea! The lady there was old and bitter. Pretty much said although my sentence structure is good, everything in it was b.s. like the dates of the things I followed up on. Then a nice gentleman walked past said hi and that he would come back later because he saw she was with me, her response "not very observant are you." I just wanted to take my resume and walk away but that would have been rude. The last place I went to was Bradly Communications, still not quite sure what they do, but the lady (named Jodi) said for me to send her some of my writing and maybe she could get me some freelancing stuff.
What a day and it's not even over yet. Wonder what is instore for the rest of my wednesday. Maybe tomorrow will be better with my 2 presentations.
