Job and Internship Fair
I went to my college's job fair this afternoon and spent time schmoozing with recruiters and handing out resumes to the people I liked...which equaled two. I gave my resume to the Nova Group (http://www.teachinjapan.com) whose information session is tomorrow during my 20th Century Music class. I'm reluctant to skip if only because I've skipped before and I don't know what will happen if I do. We have a quiz tomorrow. Maybe I can email Pacun. If I don't go to the information session then I can't get an interview. I need an interview. Keeping my options open and all that jazz, if Teach for America falls through.
I also gave my resume to a guy looking for people interested in paid interns for a senator's campaign. I've always wanted to work for a campaign so I figured, what the hell.
Otherwise, I was browsing and found a lot of PR jobs. You know, since writing = PR... I don't know how interested I am in that.
OH. There was also this weird program called BUNAC. Basically what they do is get you a blue card to work in another country for six months and help you a little with finding a job/apartment. I don't know if I'd want to do something like that. I mean, flying over to another country and not knowing if you'll get a job is kind of scary. It also implies that you have money to stay somewhere while trying to find a job, which I don't. Not only that, but they're describing jobs that are jobs that I can get here. Clerical jobs, service industry jobs...yeah it'd be great to go abroad, but if I had to work in an equivalent of McDonalds while doing it I might shoot myself. So that wasn't going to happen.
That was my little adventure for the day. Fun, right?
