Arizona Career Fair

So yesterday, my fellow intern and I went to the ASU career fair at the Tempe Campus. I have one more semester to go, so my purpose was to scout out the available internships and career opportunities available for soon to be college graduates. I wasn't surprised to find the bulk of the jobs were geared toward the finance, education, STEM, and business sector. There were a few internship recruits, but students had to pay a hefty fee to participate.

There were a few recruiters from the nonprofit and public sector, but again they were looking for either education or STEM graduates. Sigh. I wish I had the aptitude for the science and math fields, because I would have an easier time finding work. There is nothing I can do about it now.

While the career fair is a bit discouraging, I will remain positive that with the hard work I'm putting into my studies, networking, and building my work experience will pay off next fall when I graduate. It's a tough job market, but I can't let that detour me from my career goals.

    Amazing Brook, those pictures are took by cellphone? They are so good! And the career fair, I feel disappointed, too. Hope the one in March on Downtown will be better.

    I am I the same boat as you when it comes to not having a degree in the science sector or what not, but I would encourage you to keep your head up. Someone was telling me that if you can develop just one of the STEM proficiencies than you give yourself a great shot. So maybe take a look at what STEM is and see if you can learn one of those skills and add that to your wealth of knowledge. Good luck!
