This was my first year at the famed Engineering Expo (September 22nd-23rd) hosted by Ohio State’s Engineering Career Services. Almost the entire Ohio Union was filled to the brim with potential implorers and employees over the course of two days. Being my first time, I out on my best attire, grabbed a stack of resumes, and then headed over!
I was extremely blown away by the large masses of people present at the convention. I was able to make it to my far share of companies. Compared to the Juniors and Seniors, there was a large the difference in skill communicating with respective employers. Sure I did my research–but there ability to sell themselves so confidently is something that I definitely need to work on, and will practice for the upcoming WiE fair during the spring.
For any freshman, I recommend you go your first year! Learn the process before you have to figure it out in a high pressure situation. Currently, I have no bites, but I am still fishing!
