Until last week sometime, Northwestern had the wrong dates for the career fairs on their website, and I posted those incorrect dates on my blog here. In truth, there was a non-profit/government career fair yesterday, and there will be an open career fair (for any major) tomorrow.
There were some interesting opportunities at yesterday's career fair. I got good vibes from a few people, but we all know that vibes aren't worth anything. Some of the jobs would require being away from the states for a year. Like teaching English in Korea. Sounds cool. I won't weigh the career growth options until I at least hear that they are interested.
I need to enumerate, at least for my own sake, the interview/we-are-interested-in-learning-more things I've got going on right now.
1) A headhunter in Chicago is looking for someone to fill two positions at a sales software company. She was supposed to hear by Friday (1/9) what the company thinks, but I haven't heard anything.
2) A different headhunter in Chicago is looking for someone to fill a position as a Sales Engineer for a company that makes Vacuum Fluorescent Display. I'm meeting with the headhunter today.
3) A company from Monster got my application and liked it. They do software in Texas.
4) A different company from Monster got my application and liked it. I'd be an internal consultant with them. They are in Chicago.
Sounds like a lot happened in a week, right? It kind of feels that way, too. But, at least with these headhunter things, I won't be surprised if they just evaporate. That's seems to be the way they go. With these opportunities plus those I acquire from upcoming career fairs, seems like I'm bound to get something. Let's wait and see.
