ACM Career Expo February 5, 2004
Posted by Owen in : Job Hunt , trackbackWell another event down. I think this one went better than the one yesterday. A lot of high tech companies were there–Unisys, Conexent (soon to be merged with another company), Raytheon Interns, HP. Most weren’t accepting resumes, but I think I did OK with the ones that were.
I met a employee at one company that had worked under the same person I did my 125 project under. This is a nice connection–hopefully something will come of it. 
I also did some mock-interviews and got some good tips on how to improve my interview style and resume. Did you know that one shouldn’t put an objective on a resume? It belonds in the cover letter.
There was this one guy working for Raytheon (an Intern, since that’s all they sent) who completely remembered me very well. When I walked up he said, “hey Owen, I like the beard!” Embarassingly enough, I don’t remember who he is–I recognize his face but can’t remember anything else. But he sure remembers me. I later found out he was Paul’s old roommate, but I can’t remember the connection between us. I think maybe we took ICS22/3 together. Man, my memory sucks.
Anyway, I looked good in my new suit, so that’s something positive. And I added four new pens to my collection.
