A Typical Day at the Career Fair (As Told in Gifs)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SJU chapter.

 

 

1.     You spent hours perfecting the header on your resume.

 

2.     You’ve realized your major has nothing to do with what you REALLY want to do in life.

 

3.     You practiced your “elevator speech” with your friends, roommates and with the mirror. 

4.     You bought a new suit, to impress your “potential NEW boss.”

5.     But, everyone is wearing the same suit you just bought.

6.     You waited in line for 45 minutes in order to speak with the recruiter for less than 45 seconds.

7.     You silently “check out” your competition…or maybe just guys in suits—we gotcha.

8.     You were asked, “What do you want to do with your life?” multiple times.

9.     You felt the awkward  “dead-fish” hand shake. And never want to relive it.

10. When asked—do you have any questions? You draw a complete blank.

11. You can’t put a name to a face for any of the business cards you picked up.

12. You have never hated heels so much in your life.

13. The “sock bun” was everyone’s hair of choice.

14. You wonder why your parents never tried to make you a “child star.”

15. Or… Why you weren’t as lucky as Honey BooBoo”

16. Your face hurts from smiling so much.

17. You’ve realized, dropping out of school may be your best bet.

18. Then, you think about all of your loans…there’s no turning back.

19. Therefore, you end up at the Landmark…contemplating your future.

20. But then again…you’re still in college, you’ve got time.
