Until this class, I was unaware of the MANY services that Career Services offers. That being said, I had never been to one of their events before, though the Internship Fair on Thursday is exactly how I would have pictured it.
I walked in knowing that I wasn't dressed to impress.Having already checked out which companies that were to attend, I knew that I wouldn't need to impress anyone. These people were simply not in my field of study. I immediately felt like a meager student. I was impressed with the check in system at the door and the professional-looking name tags that everyone received. Then I walked in, there they were: insurance companies, IBM, Microsoft, international banks and much much more. I noticed each booth and how they represented their company. The representatives were attentive and nicely dressed too. I also noticed how some companies, like Rubbermaid and General Mills, displayed a substantial array of their company's products.
I did two rounds, noticing more the second time around (especially the bowls of candy). I noticed a booth called Residential Services, which, I recalled, is my friend's uncle's company! I also noticed and listened in on some information about a girls outdoor camp in Western NC. As I was about to leave, empty handed, I noticed the booth closest to the door: AIESEC International. I recognized the name as a study abroad company. I had a brief conversation with their representatives and actually signed up to be on their mailing list. The opportunity to have an international internship this summer would be stellar. I'm glad that I went!
