still waiting...

After a couple of busy weeks of interviews I have now entered the waiting period...which is not too exciting and a little nerve racking at times. After my interviews I was able to to confirm when I should be hearing back from them. I was also able to confirm in follow-up emails. Besides waiting I went on another On Campus interview with a company located near WPI. The conversation went really well and I was able to make a lot of connections with the interviewer (we had similar activities/organizations from college which made for great conversation).

It is becoming more evident that the economy is not doing so great. Many places have put a freeze on hiring and there is a lot of discussion as to if companies are willing to take on new employees. There are also many layoffs that are happening now too which is a little scary to someone who will be jumping into the job force relatively soon. I am really trying to keep options open and look at everything positively but every now and then I wonder how finding a job in the current economic state is going to go.
