  • Today has been quite exhausting despite the fact that I didn't really accomplish that much.  Morning I just woke up at 9:30, dropped down my mom, went to the bank to deposit my check, went to the post office to mail a letter to Carrie (Yes Carrie if you're reading this I'm SENDING YOU A LETTER!), waited for the bus for ages, finally went up to SFU to read for a bit, went to the Career Expo workshop, went back to the library, waited for Kiwi to get off class, came home to eat dinner, then went to BSF prayer group.

    I'm actually quite excited about the opportunities that are out there for me if I attend everything I can possibly find that can get me a job =].  According to the speaker at the workshop today there'll be over 84 companies at the Career Expo next week and all of them will be looking to hire business students who are about to graduate.  And the good part is, this expo is exclusively for business students at SFU and UBC = no outsiders to compete with! (There's enough insiders to compete with though). 

    Appearance isn't everything but apparently it takes up 84% of the chances of whether an employer will hire you or not (along with your personality).  Skills only take about 16%.  So what does that mean for me?  That means I'll need to purchase a leather folder, professional pen, have business cards, and a card holder by next Friday.  Tight deadline since I still have a few things to do next week, including work, mentor meeting, emily carr, and Co-op applications (Yes I'm planning on trying to complete another Co-op term before I leave for Sweden =] )

    I also registered for 3 HR courses during the summer semester just in case I all of a sudden decide that I should do all schooling during the summer, in which case, guess what?  After these 3 HR courses I CAN GRADUATE!  They're all I have left. So that sounds cool right? =P
