The University of Houston career fair went well. It was very busy in the afternoon. There were lots of students very enthusiastic about finding a job. It's very hard to get out of there (the campus) though. It's like the bermuda triangle. You can go in, but you can't get out. The amenities at the A&M career fair must have spoiled me. This time, there were no snacks, no massages, no hot lunch, etc.
The University of Texas engineering career fair is this Friday. That should be fun too. Hopefully we'll continue to meet great engineering students and graduates. The worst part of the career fairs to me is telling students that we're not hiring anyone in their field. We had a number of Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and even Geology majors stop by our booth, and we're only looking for Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering majors. That part is no fun. There was one Biomedical Engineering student. While that seems like a very intriguing field and she made a great arguement for why a company should hire her, not many companies that I know of in Houston are looking for Biomedical Engineers.
Happy recruiting or job hunting.
