On October 19th, a career fair was held in the A.E. England building across from ASU Downtown. I was nervous to go and talk to recruiters about my future and what I want to do for the rest of my life. I was unprepared to say the least. I did not bring my resume.......nor did I dress up..........Both of these factors made me just another kid wandering around A.E. England. The recruiters did not really want to talk to me after the Drury Hotels rep asked me for my resume and I told them I did not have it, they looked at me puzzled and said ok, you can put your email down if you like.
I learned a great deal about professionalism or lack thereof that day. It was a good experience to go out and see what companies are looking for college educated workers. There was definitely a sense of we want to hire someone but not you. It was most likely because I did not take the opportunity seriously enough. I could have landed a job, who knows, but because I was unprepared and looked unprofessional, I lost my opportunity.
I will forever remember the time I screwed my chances at getting a job.
