Job Fair




Most people see summer jobs as an opportunity to make a little extra cash. While others depend on summer jobs to fund their summer festivities. Young adults usually switch up jobs over the summer. Mainly because they are out of school and have more time to work. Then suddenly when you get to college something seems more important, internships. It is pretty very rare to find a full time paid internship. I feel like internships are better than jobs, even if they are not paid. I think employers see internships are able to offer more experiences than a job. This week when I walked around the job fair I was drawn towards the little green signs that said "We Have Internships" .

The job fair was full of future employers from businesses around the area. The businesses were there to look for future employees and watched as eager job seekers would walk towards their booth. I was pleasantly surprised to see multiple booths that do offer internships and eve a few of them were paid. I was also surprised about how hesitate some of the employers became when I interviewed them. Some of them would not answer my question completely or did not know how to answer the follow-up. The fair seemed like a big success and live tweeting it was entertaining and even though it was a interview practice run, it definitely made me feel more comfortable with interviews and also with asking about internships. When you really think about it werent the employer and I there to do the same job, interview?
