This workshop was aimed at preparing job searchers for the job/internship fair that was held today (oops, according to the time, it was actually yesterday-i always write these blogs really late/really early). Two guys from Verizon came and gave pointers about job searching and marketing yourself as an asset to companies. They also addressed how to approach those tough questions that are thrown at you (like “What’s your biggest weakness?”). I think they were really helpful and exposed me to a lot I didn’t know. It was very relevent and helped me figure out how to build my resume starting now in freshman year. They also spoke about networking, which was pretty helpful. Too bad I didn’t go to the fair. I would’ve, but it was waayy last minute and I wasn’t ready for all that. I picked this workshop because the movie that I was originally going to see magically disappeared from the list of freshman workshops. This workshop exceeded my expectations. It was really lengthy and took up almost my entire break btwn PUB and PSY but, what can I do? It was the last workshop I will ever be required to do (I hope). I would definitely recommend it for someone actually going to the job fair, but I wouldn’t make it a requirement.

Random sidenote: Robert signed for the THIRD time in my book (I guess that’s good in case i lose the planner b/c he saw i completed it)! He basically owns it. I swear he walks through walls. I just hope I don’t run into him in the girls bathroom one day. That would be a tad awkward. lmao
I wanna wish everyone good luck and a pleasant-ish registration. It’s been a good semester.
“jsoler” out.
