After today's fantastic job fair, I would say that somehow I've conquered my fear. As badly as last week's went, there was actually nowhere for this one to go but up. But it went even better than that, it went great! It was a very popular event that attracted hundreds of people. Unfortunately, the space didn't fit hundreds of people. So there were quite a few lines to get in, then to get to the companies I wanted to talk to. But I didn't stress. I waited patiently (even though I got stuck in line with the one guy that wanted to spill his entire life story, up to and inlcuding the messy divorce and loan defaults...awesome).
I started off like normal and made the loop, then I made another one. At that point I thought I'd get stuck in my neverending cycle, aka the same as last week. But some very nice gentleman (I kinda flirted too, yay me, I'm on a roll!) caught my eye and we talked for a while. After that, I guess I was relaxed enough so I talked to all the agencies and companies I wanted to talk to and managed to get a few cards. It could have been a lot more fruitful if my field was IT but since training is kinda specialized, most companies don't need more than 1 or 2 education or training specialists. I knew I should have gone into computers! Anyway, there are a few prospects that I'm excited by so I'm hoping at least one of them will pan out.
I'm thinking I might be getting closer to my goal for 2012. Dream job here I come!
