Job
Fair
I attended the Job Fair at
CSUSM on Thursday October 4th. As soon as I walked up to the first
booth, I was immediately acknowledged and engaged in what their booth had to
offer. I’ve been to other Job Fairs, but not as active and lively as it was on
Thursday. I continued to talk with a handful of companies. Luckily, I brought a
lot of copies of my resume because the first booth I approached actually asked
for my resume. The booth was the ADS organization, which represents the
Advanced Diabetes Supply. I have always wanted to be involved in helping people
and I immediately walked to this booth when I got on campus. It was perfect
because the spokeswoman for her booth was interested in offering me a summer
internship!
The next booth I went
towards was the Ross Careers for their multiple stores. The woman speaking for
Ross also gave me a lot of information for applying for the holiday season.
Soon after that I went to the Target booth and was offered the same opportunity
for working soon. My roommate and I then went to the Army Reserve booth; mainly
to seek information about their loans and scholarships. The soldier
representing the booth was very helpful and really funny! It was easy to start
up a conversation.
The last two booths I
visited were Teri- Campus of Life and Voter Registration. Teri is an
incorporation that specifies in helping mentally retarded children. After TERI,
I visited the Voter Registration booth to change my resident statuses for the
different counties because I want to vote in the San Diego District.
Just as I was about to leave
(literally walking away from the tents), two people walk up to me and introduce
themselves as the Abercrombie and Fitch and Hollister employers and asked me to
be the welcoming model in front of their store! I have an interview on this
Friday, October 12th. So, my experience at the Job Fair was great!
