But my college career placement people are awful.  The put you on a mailing list and you just get e-mails about jobs (that I already get from the staff that send it to the career placement people).  I want to go to law school to work in patent law but I cannot afford it right now, I would like to study by myself for a few years while working and paying down my loans, and try and get in within about 5-7 years.

Unfortunately my grades weren't the greatest (2.49 GPA) and I don't really have any recommendations from professors and I didn't do any research.  I had to change my major and missed out on a full year of part time school which would have been my fifth year which was going to be my year to do research.




Did you read what I said about attending a career fair? A career fair has nothing to do with you contacting a career placement employee at college. A job fair is when 50 to 100 companies come to attend your school to actively recruit students as interns or employees. They all set up booths and you go and drop off your resume and have a short interview with their representative. Many times, if they like your resume, they will schedule an interview with the boss upfront and arrange a time and date for you on the spot.

Or, they will give you their business card with a code on it, so that when you apply online and enter the code, it gives you first priority in the hiring process.  I'm surprised you have never attended a job fair on campus, even more surprised you have never even heard of it.

I've been to the career fairs on campus an 9/10 of the positions are business positions like banking, insurance, etc. (they have a really good business program).  A lot of them are also unpaid internships.

I'm going to a LEED certification class starting on the 14th (if I can get in through the local Workforce center) and OSHA 40 training the week after to hopefully open up some industrial type jobs that I could get into.

Your university doesn't separate science and tech fairs from the other job fairs? Cause my school separates them. One fair is for science, tech, and engineering, and another day they will have a separate fair for liberal arts majors. Most large universities do this. The fact that you went and it was mostly business majors tells me you simply went to the wrong fair. :lol:

Yeah, it's fucked up.  Trust me, I didn't go to the wrong fair.  But since you're so adamant I will e-mail my careers office :kingcrankey:
