Doing Things Like Normal People Do

[windandwater]

So I'm going to a job fair tomorrow in hopes of getting my resume out there more and seeing what my options are. The last job fair I went to got me those interviews at the Place I Really Wanted To Work, even if it didn't pan out. I'm hopeful that this time I can be similarly lucky. I know that at least one of the employers at the fair is looking for legal applicants, so my fingers are crossed.

Of course, this means I'm going to be getting up ridiculously early in the morning so I can prep and primp and get my suit on. And I want to swing by Starbuck's because I feel I will need the caffiene boost. It's in Ontario, so if anyone in the area wants to have late lunch/early dinner with me (because I will be starving by the time I'm done), just tell me. ^__^

Unfortunately, I'm also breaking out like you wouldn't believe. =___=;; Hopefully it clears up some, or else I'll be slathering on the concealer and foundation tomorrow morning.

Well, I always make sure to dress properly (suit always, since I'm in law). You should alsp have a good resume that isn't longer than 1 page. Make sure to research the companies beforehand if you can, and make sure to be assertive when talking to the recruiters. If you already know about the company, they are more likely to take interest in you.

Also, when I dress, I make sure to wear something subtle, but interesting. Like, I almost always wear a black suit, but instead of just a plain white or blue shirt underneath, I sometimes wear this nice light purple one I had tailered, or a red and gold striped one. It's a little surprising, but still professional, and helps me not look like everyone else.

Yeah. My resume is pretty weak -_- but I'm working on it!

I never thought about wearing an interesting shirt underneath. Of course, you don't want to go crazy, but interesting.

*nod* I understand how asking the company representative good questions can be a good thing. I suppose that it's something that should come naturally if you're really interested in the company. I have yet to really figure out what kind of job I'm interested in (even though I'm graduating this year >_>;). I'll figure something out.

Thanks for the advice!
