*runs after Espy and drags back in* Stay here....join us.....join us....join us....*random chanting sounds out from nowhere*

[Lucid:]

Espyyyyyyy why don't you want to play wif meeeee? D:

[Espy]

Because I'm busy eating, was on a call, need to do homework, and need to shower/prepare for a job fair later.

...Not that I really want to go. But I should probably check things out while I'm NOT in a hurry to get a job, rather than actually have to focus on jobs and internships later and in the meanwhile worry about the proper etiquette at fairs....

[Alpha]

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to go check it out. Hey, at the very least, networking opportunity!

I know the feeling Espy.

[Espy]

But schtuff like that makes me nervous. And my resume's kind of...bleh.

[Alpha]

Eh, just have to represent yourself well. My resume isn't that impressive either, but all it takes is one big thing to "sell you" or otherwise catch their attention.

[Espy]

I don't have anything big. I haven't done anything big.

[Alpha]

Then highlight any form of award or achievement (especially academic if you have none otherwise), or any form of extracurricular as well. Basically, just sell yourself! Make it seem that you you would benefit them.

[Lucid:]

Even impressive projects you do for class can be good resume material. I had a class where we sold the world's longest doughnut for charity. The assignment was basically to manage the logistics of the event and create enough awareness to sell the whole thing - about 1,280 feet of doughnut! I put that on my resume because it sounds impressive and unique to have the phrase "World's Longest Doughnut" on there. I don't even mention it was for a class. Freshman lecture classes probably won't have those kinds of cool opportunities, but by the time you are ready to be looking for internships and jobs, I'm sure you'll have been able to get your hands on some fun projects.

[Alpha]

All it takes is that unique thing to "hook" them and at least garner their interest enough to interview you.

[Ashy]

world's longest doughnut? o_O

[Lucid:]

Yes.

News article! We were covered in news articles across the country. Most were just lifted straight from this one though.

Video! These guys were all in my class and on the advertising team with me. It stops being about the doughnut at like 3 minutes.

[Alpha]

Hm, nice. Looks like it was an interesting project.

[Lucid:]

It was pretty cool once we got it all done, but like the guy in the video said, we barely managed to get it done in time. We had way too much red tape to work through in order to get anything done at all.

[Illusion]

So uh.. How has Fen been doing?
I haven't heard much from her in quite a while...

[Kamikaze Chinchilla]

I think the fish scared her off lol.
