Career Fair
Our career fair is coming up tomorrow and I cannot wait. The day is sure to be a very exciting and stressful one. So far I have completed my resume and had professors as well as the career services center at Marquette look over it. Well that was the first step...after going to buy a business suit!
The hard part came along when I was trying to narrow down the employers that I intend to visit. There are over 60 representatives set to come and only four hours available for the career fair. Add that on top of the hundreds of students that will be fighting for reps' time and it's crunch time! It is especially difficult for me because I have a variety of interests and possess a background in a variety of areas-from sports medicine to wound care and geriatrics. These are very hard to come by within the same facility.
Thus far hospital settings seem to offer the best fit for me, however, since I am also interested in the inpatient and skilled nursing setting, then I will be visiting with those reps also. Needless to say my list is quite lengthy. I figured if I spend at least 10 minutes with my top 15, and five to 10 minutes with the others then I should be safe. The only unfortunate part is that I have to leave and come back right in the middle of the career fair to take a practical exam!!!
Well hopefully all goes well. I am very excited to be venturing onto a new stepping stone in my life-still worried, but none-the-less excited! Up next... individual cover letters and interviews!
