The Job Hunt Begins
February 6, 2008 by Canadian Investor Within
Well it is that time of the year againĀ for a student looking for summer employment. All the companies start looking to fill in the temp positions during the warmer months here in the northern hemisphere. Warm weather would be nice considering its been a blizzard all night already and a possible snow day/no school tomorrow is on the minds of many.
Today I ventured to a career fair type deal where 200+ companies come and set up shop looking for someĀ students but mostly for soon to be graduates. Unfortunately for myself I will not be graduating so the job opportunities were slightly slimmer. However I got a few resumes out there, and talked for what seemed like 10 hours (2 hours in reality). I cant remember doing something that was so simple as talking to people being so tiresome.
Some of you may have read about my fear of public speaking. Well thanks to your help I had my nerves under control and I really felt good about everything. So much for being shy.
I hope to find something in the financial industry for now and then start to work out from there.
Lots of online applications to come!
But now time for some sleep, goodnight.
The financial industry is a good starting place for economists. Best of lucks.
Hi Composer, I wish you the best of luck. Persistence is the name of the game.
thanks shirley, I will try to be as persistent as possible the next few weeks
