Well I applied for some jobs this weekend and that actually takes longer than you might think. However, the best news came just a few minutes ago. I applied for a job online and before I even received a confirmation email letting me know my application was received the man in charge of hiring was emailing me back. Apparently, if I wasn’t still in college I could have had a job right now. Although I couldn’t accept the job right away he told me to be sure and check back with him around graduation time because he was very interested in my past experiences in Public Relations. He told me I was the most qualified of any of the applicants he had seen thus far. To me this is very encouraging and lets me know I am on the right track. I just wanted to share this with everyone and let you know that I will be posting some information on the upcoming career fair very soon.

I have decided that in my blog I am going to talk about my search for the perfect job. I think this is a very fitting topic since I will be graduating in May and am currently looking for my ideal job.

This blog will also be relevant to other students in the class who are seniors looking for jobs or maybe just looking for internships. I am going to discuss topics like resumes and cover letters and how to interview to the best of your ability. This will also be a place for others to ask questions concerning job search strategies. I am also going post links with useful information relating to job search strategies and career planning.

I am employeed by Arts & Sciences Career Services so I will try to provide useful links and information on this blog. I hope this blog will help other students with questions and you can also follow me along my job search with this blog.
