Career Fair, Day 2 Posted September 14, 2004 at 12:00 am

The second day of the career fair at Georgia Tech brought heavy hitters like Microsoft, Intel, AMD, IBM, and Siemens. I dressed a little more nicely and devoted more time to make sure I would have a chance to talk with each of the companies. Some of my visits proved to be more helpful than others. I was rather turned off that Siemens seemed interested only in hiring interns rather than full-time employees; IBM supplied few technical representatives so I didn’t gain any truly useful information there, either. The representatives from Microsoft, Intel, and AMD were all reasonably helpful. I got my resume out to each company, but I’m still not sure exactly what the point of the career fair is. I have pondered putting off the job hunt until after I graduate. The lease on the apartment runs through March so I will probably be in town anyway.
