I am just plain skippy, like the peanut butter, because I require some Buffista advice.
I'm going to a job fair on Thursday for a company I've been interested in since my initial job search during the summer. They have a need for medical writers, and I feel like I'm qualified enough, judging from their postings. Apparently, they're also interested in opening up a branch in Ann Arbor.
I've never been to a job fair, though, and I have no idea what to expect. What do I do? What do I say? What do I wear? How many copies of my résumé do I bring? Do I staple it? Do I bring cover letters? If this is my big break, I don't want to fuck it up.
here is a very interesting speech about the mathematics reform movement
That's fascinating. The examples of how kids were trying to solve problems, especially. Yow. Suddenly I understand why we had so many word problems in school.
Heh. I've listened to a Kendle presentation trying to convince my (former) company to use their services...(sorry, that's not actually any help to P-C, but I'm amused)
That could be
me,
meara! THAT COULD BE MEEEEE.
Hi meara and Polter, two people I haven't "seen" in quite a while!
I'm posting and running, having a difficult evening.
P-C, dress nicely, though a suit would be overkill, I think. Take resumes in a folder. A cover letter would be a good. Be ready to do your 30 second self-pimp. View it as a pre-interview, IMO.
Hi, P-C. Good luck tomorrow.
You should also take clips, P-C. You can make up some folders with your resume and clips.
PC, yes to everything DebetEsse said, although I'd be hard pressed to come up with a cover letter without a job description in front of me. Also, how's your handshake? Good luck!
Gud, I'm sorry you're having a tough evening.
