Business Fair

Today was the business fair at U of I. This was my first business fair. It basically was what I expected and the outcome was similar. Hundreds of students came out to basically lie to possible employers. I have done this and this and this is why I would be a valuable part of your company. Having the background of the industry is a plus, but really selling yourself is the key. How can one sell themselves? For some reason, when I think of this question, I think of the movie "Catch Me If You Can." This kid got all around the world by selling himself. He was a master of the art.

After today, I realized I need a lot more practice on selling myself.

Update

Hello all,

Sorry I have not been around the last couple of weeks. It is a lot harder to blog while at school vs. being home. I know this because other bloggers have agreed with me on this. Anyways, school is school. Work is starting to pile up. I’ve been going out more than I should be. The next two days is the career fair. I'm pretty nervous about this since it helps determine my future. I think I will be fine once it starts though. And after this career fair stuff is over, I really got to get into school. Next week is going to be hell.

I have three tests and three papers due next week. And I can not start these things until I finish this career fair. This means that from Wednesday through next Wednesday I will be doing solid studying and school work. How much will that suck? However, once that is all done, I think we are going to the casino again. That should be fun.

Some encouraging news I heard this week was young inspiring journalists need to have a blog and followers. Looks like I finally have a leg up on someone in my industry.
