Introduction

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting. I know that this is a tough economy right now, and I (on behalf of VMware) would like to help college students who are looking for a job or internship. As you can see in my profile, I am gearing my blog toward the job search. So, let's get started...

Right now is peak recruiting season so take advantage of it! Many schools are hosting Career Fairs where hundreds of employers are coming to you. Make an appointment with your Career Center to have your resume reviewed, because that is the most important piece of paper related to your career at this point. If you live in an area with numerous schools around you, you may be able to attend fairs at other schools - just make sure that the school is open to having you.

Before attending a career fair, take a look at the companies that will be attending and target the top 10 or fewer that you would like to speak to. Then, the week before the fair, start to research these companies and find out who they are and what they have to offer that is unique. The better prepared you are when you meet with an employer, the better of an impression you will make. Doing more work up front will guarantee that you have to do less later on.

This is just the first step...more to come!
