Oh my god
Can I be real for just one second?
I fucking HATE Job Fairs. Even if its JUST for internships! There is an intern fair today at my school and I always feel so awkward. There’s only like 2 places I would probably enjoy being an intern at, but I still feel pretty horrible going to talk to these people. I’m not afraid of talking, I’m afraid of first impressions. Pathetic as it sounds, I always come up with excuses for myself as to why I shouldn’t go head to head with someone.
- My Hair isn’t perfect
- I don’t know anything about them
- My resume is shit
- I’m sweating
Whatever the reason I just hate it. Last Job Fair I went to, I spaghetti’d all over the place asking about working at Disney, never got the job, and since then, I just avoided fairs like the plague.
As big as a cop-out as this might be, I found a new reason not to go to one. After taking a glance at the table I rushed to lunch where they were serving stir fry with fortune cookies. My cookie fortune literally says “Today is the day you let it go. Your chance will come. Learn Chinese - Dish (Cai) Lucky numbers 56, 18, 40 …,”
So to add to the list I gave, I let a cookie persuade me into not going. Although I think the fact that I applied at the job before the fair took place and sending an email saying “I couldn’t come to the fair because I had class and work.” would make me seem better instead of just doing what everyone else does. (That isn’t a lie by the way. I’m in the library working for my next class)
If I don’t get the position because I didn’t attend, whatever. But now you know something about me. The fair is over so don’t tell me to man up and head back.
