Get Your Fresh Fish Here!
Oy. My feet hurt. Invested most of the day in the career equivalent of hawking my wares on the street corner. In other words, it was Career Fair day at my community college. So seeing as how I'm allegedly graduating next month, I dusted off my resume and spent some time visiting with recruiters from various businesses. Rather interesting really....much more so than I expected. And of course there was the invitable "Oh My God, you mean your family's from Marshall too" moment. A very nice lady who was recruiting for one of the local hospitals, who seemed surprised to meet someone from 'down home'. It was fun to meet another distant cousin, which I'm sure she was. As I told her, just about everyone from that county is related in one way or another.
As you might imagine, the recruiters were all rather surprised to meet an attorney at a community college job fair. Not exactly the employee for which they were looking....but that's ok. Unusual is good. That way they'll remember me. And they all promised to pass my resume on to their company's legal recruiter. Some of them may even do it. One even said that she would talk to their legal recruiter when she got back to their office because she knew they were about to hire several attorneys & she thought they'd want to call me.
Who knows? I may actually get a job interview out of this.
