It has been a few weeks since the Georgia Tech Career Fair chaos ended and I finally got around to writing this article. You can easily Google many opinions about resumes, career fairs, interviews, etc, but I thought it would be beneficial to the community to document some of my experience with the Georgia Tech Career Fair.

This article should give you idea of the commitment associated with attending the GT Career Fair so you can properly prepare yourself to make a great impression. I will also provide you with my personal reflections or faults I encountered as well as some interview questions. I will assume you know the basics of the dress code, handshaking, and resumes.

Continuing on with my goal of attending every home football game this year, Chrissy and I watch Georgia Tech play Clemson this past Saturday. The game was very exciting and GT won 13-3!

I would have cranked it up and tried to drive off but the keys were no where to be found and I didn’t have my hot wiring kit with me.

We took several photos of the event for those of you who are interested.

As you could have guessed from the title, I have finished my undergraduate degree. I will graduate on Saturday December 16 at 3:00 pm EST with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Exciting right? For the most part, yes. After only four and a half short years of being in college, I will have something to show (a piece of paper) for all my hard work. Although going through college and paying way too much out-of-state tuition only gets you a diploma, it is unbelievable the massive amount of knowledge I have obtained since I have been in college. In particular, since I have been at Tech, I have tenfold the amount of knowledge than when I came here two years ago.
