And so IR week begins…
IR or Industrial Roundtable is one of the largest (if not largest entirely) college job fairs in the country. Today there are seminars from various companies where we can meet the companies and understand what all they do and how we can help. Tuesday and Wednesday are open table introductions, where I get to try and hand them my resume and they get a feel for me as a possible hire (hopefully). Then the rest of the week are closed interviews based on invitation only. God the pressure is building.
Hopefully I can get some interviews and some of the companies will like me enough that I can get further into the hiring process. If I don’t get any interviews, it would be very upsetting. I have been spending hours researching companies I would like to apply to, I already have a page and a half of basic characteristics of each company and will probably spend more time today. Here’s hoping I can get it rolling this week and not have to wait through the long online application process…
