Mass Comm Week

I didn’t know exactly what I was getting myself into. I simply checked in, got a name tag and just walked into the room. It was a Mass Communications career fair and from the name I should have known better. In the ballroom in LBJ I ran into a lot of unfamiliar faces. Many of them were seniors looking to advance into the career field after their graduation in the spring. I felt out of place because I’m just a freshman. I walked around and there was a few companies taking resumes, I wasn’t prepared. SXSW were taking interested people who wanted to participate in the up-coming festivals. Grande Communications and Time Warner were taking applications. There were also two new broadcast companies looking for new faces as well. I stood in the background of the career fair because I felt it wasn’t my time. I just stood nearby and watched the seniors work their magic as they choose the table of their career. It felt good to know that when I was really ready that this kind of opportunity would be open to me. With the economy in the kind of bad shape it’s a relief that there might still be a job waiting for me and someone there to offer it as well.
