Free Stuff from the Job Fair

Part of stepping into the real world is finding a real job. Today, MC held a career fair, with businesses from all over the South.

Something I realized far too late:

I should have been a lawyer or an accountant.

Most conversations went like this:

“I’m a public relations major. Do you have any openings in that department?”

“We’ve had a lot of people ask us that. But sorry, no.”

“Can I still take your free stuff?”

They really did not invite anyone hiring communication/public relations students. So, for all of us, who were still required to go… we racked up on the free stuff. And some of this was pretty impressive:

1) Pens

2) A Cup

3) A Folder

4) Chewing Gum

5) Chap Stick

6) A Jump Drive!

7) A Door-mount Basketball Goal

8 ) A Portable Sewing Kit

and the winner:

9) Soap Slices… I couldn’t figure out what these things were. They look like oversized Listerine strips and had the lady at the table not seen the confused look on my face and told me what they were, I probably would have accidently washed my own mouth out with soap.

Hooray for Career Day! I’ll never get a job, but I’ll get tons of cool junk.
