Interview and job fair tomorrow
« on: January 28, 2015, 06:13:34 pm »
I've got an interview at 11:15 tomorrow morning for a customer service position, and a job fair in the evening, along with 35 copies of my resume. So even if I bomb the morning interview, I still have 35 chances at the fair.

If I don't have at least one job/offer/another interview from this fair by the end of the night, I'll be severely disappointed, but also impressed at my inability to get a damn job.
So any good thoughts and wishes are appreciated.

Thanks everyone!

So the morning interview was a bust. I went to the address and it was an empty lot. The ad was originally on Craigslist so my guess is the guy I talked to was probably the Craigslist Killer.

But the fair was a decent success. I have 3 interviews next week, and considering there were only 7 companies I'm pretty happy with myself. One of the companies, NY Life Insurance, my family friend/former neighbor works for. So there's a huge possibility that I could get in there, even with my lack of experience.

Sounds to me like that was a success in that you're not actually dead.
