Winter (job hunting) fun

My friends and I have always frantically scrambled to get our resumes together the night before the career fair in Fall. Then, on the day of, we pass our resumes out like there's no tomorrow and we usually don't get very many responses. This year, however, because we're seniors, we also got the lovely privilege of adding our resume to Cornell's resume book. And why not? - it's all typed up and even starting to gather dust. So I did. And amazingly, over winter break, I got an email offering me an interview. My first reaction was to think that it was a mass mailing. But it was legit and sometimes, it's great to feel wanted even if it's a lie so I emailed them back and ended up interviewing with the company. Although there hasn't been any reply yet, it's still comforting to know that people actually look at the resumes that we throw out to the world. And I also know that I'll be checking my email even more obssessivly than I already do.

  1. You also need to make sure you update your resumé frequently as well as add a cover letter for specific job applications
