On Campus Interview and End of the Term!

Last week I was able to register for an on campus interview with a company in Worcester. I have the interview Tuesday at the CDC for a leadership program within the company. I scheduled my interview for first thing in the morning so hopefully everything goes well! I looked into the same company in the fall and hopefully this time around things work out for the better. Tonight representatives from the company are coming to campus for a meeting and greet so I will be stopping by that too so I can see the interviewers before tomorrow morning!

Since the end of the term is coming everyone seems to be getting a little stressed out, including myself. We have a week of classes left and my MQP is also ending this term which is great, but also a lot of work at the same time. Our final presentation is a week from today and our paper is due the middle of next week.

Career Fair!

Last week we had our career fair on campus and it was pretty successful! I had my resume all squared away and researched the companies beforehand. I was up at the career fair for most of the morning and had a great opportunity to talk to employers before the career fair even started.
I mainly talked to 4 or 5 companies when I was at the career fair and gave out a handful of resumes. I was able to get an interview with one company and we will see if I hear anything back from anyone else. I have to take the time now to follow up with contacts I made and apply for any positions that were suggested to me via companies websites.
The next thing I will need to do is prepare for my on campus interview and continue to research job options. We just had our 100 days to graduation celebration and its a little scary that graduation is really just around the corner! Time is just flying by so hopefully something works out for me in the job market : )
