Career Fair in Tempe

Today I had the opportunity of attending the Career Fair at the MU on Tempe Campus. I have to say that I was not to impressed with the companies that attended. The vast majority dealt with sales, investment, or insurance. I know this is not a time to be picky, but I was not interested in any. I spoke with a few representatives, but none really sold me on the job. I currently have two jobs, bot in retail, equalling out to ~50 hours per week. I would love to find a job I can make a career of after I graduate, but at the moment, I don't know what that job is (I just know it's not in sales, insurance, or investment). If any of you attended, I hope you had better luck than I did.

    I feel your pain its tough and I have noticed that a lot of the career fairs have people/company's there that I don't think many people would be interested in

      I plan to attend the one downtown on Wednesday. Maybe there will be more jobs that focus on the Public Affairs students considering it is located on the downtown campus. I have attended many Career and Internship Fairs and find that it is always hit or miss on the organizations hiring.

      But, it is always great practice and experience to talk to employers, sell yourself, and learn if organizations are the right fit for you.
