Pffft. Career Fare *Sucks* - 2005-02-15 - Entry 593 - TOGoS's Journal

So there was a "Career Fair" today in the Ullsvik Center. Everybody dressed up fancy and brought their re-zooms. Even my dumb roommate. Anyhow, I went to the lab in Ulrich to print out a few copies of my own resume because they have pretty blue paper there. Of course nothing came out of the printer because it was out of paper. So I went up and got a pack of paper and put it in and of course the first thing the printer does is print about 100 sheets of queued up jobs. And I'm looking through menus to try to clear them, but can't find anything so finally just let it go. And eventually 5 copies of my stupid resume come out and I go up and staple them and get out of there and go to the building of the career (un)fair.

After I put my name on a sheet and got a nametag I went into this big room full of booths. Actually it took me a little while to find that. I ran into Ben and we wandered around a bit and made fun of all the people wearing ties and complained that we couldn't tell the students from the people we were supposed to be nice to. Unfortunately it seemed that nobody needed Software Engineers, and those that did didn't have internships available, and those that did (Land's End) were for fall, not summer. On my way out I saw that the campus housing folks were hiring custodians and paint scrapers for summer so I signed up for that.

As long as I was out there I went to Warner Hall and signed up to be a tutor next semester. It didn't look like becoming one this semester was quite feasible. And that reminds me that I need to clean up my archived schedule files because they are randomly placed and improperly named.

And I sat on a bench in Otts and talked to Fizz while waiting for lady in the co-op room to stop talking on the phone so I could get my 'corrected' resume back. After about half an hour of waiting she told me I was in the wrong place and I needed to go about a half mile back to the career center in Ullsvik.

Of course later in the room Andy comes back and starts talking about how he got 10 job offers and was talking to a hot girl. And then he proceeded to do one million one-handed push ups.

Andy needs to be killed in the face.
