Job Fair

Today was the big day to show my stuff. The semesterly job fair was held in Veal today with the biggest company turnout ever. It's a good year to be a senior! I printed out 15 resumes, put on my black khakis and blue blazer, and headed off to the fair after class. I spent about 3 hours there talking to random companies. Some of the bigger names were Microsoft, Progressive, CGI, and Rockwell Automation. At the end of the day I had a free bag with tons of goodies in it (count tumbler, flashlights, pens, t-shirt, bottle opener, and even ping pong balls!) For my first career fair, I would say it was a success.

After the fair I had class, blah.

After class a company called Citgal had a presentation on the above floor. The two representatives are CWRU alumni. Amazing people. It was one of the most interesting presentations I've ever attended. One grad went over the differences between programming in school verses the real world. The other provided insight with real examples that happened to him. That is the kind of stuff I wanna deal with when I get out of college!

Juggling club started it's first meeting in Veal today. They used the raquetball courts instead of the gym as it was still dirty from the career fair. The courts are not good for juggling. It was insanely loud. Ugh.

Microsoft also gave a presentation at 7:30. Steve and I were a bit late after juggling, but managed to catch the end of the slideshow and were just in time for Q&A. I won a sweet deck of cards and more ping pong balls for asking questions. Steve, Vaso, and I stayed after everyone else left to play with the new Zune software and chat with the reps. They were also all CWRU grads! I hope I can get a job with people as cool as them!
