I take so little advantage of job fairs.

Plugged resume and portfolio with EA person. He said he'll pass it on to the art department, of course. Beh, no use anticipating the ... not-expect-able...


What I learned from Naruto:

- There will always be a weirder ninja.
- In a battle, the more someone stands still, the more he will kick your ass.
- There's nothing wrong with being named after fishcake.
- Trivial lines midway through the episode are always worth hearing again.
- Leaf beats Water, just like in Pokémon.
- My inner Sakura is not pleased.
- A team of three (consisting of two males and one female) is the unstoppable combination.
- Buy your holographic Naruto character trading cards today!
- Ph33r the giant talking turtle, for he brings teh wackiness.


Math midterm? What math midterm?

Hrm, LiveJournal ate my comment.

Anyway, don't worry about it. Most of the job fairs are directed towards seniors, and there are some seniors I know who didn't even take advantage of them (ahem, a certain RA).

And if you're doing impressive work already, just think about how it'll be two years from now. :) Keep it up, and I'm sure potential employers will notice someday.

CS midterm? What CS midterm?

The problem is my mom wants me to get a job now now now.

At any rate, if I get into the industry ASAP, maybe I can escape the terrors of grad school... ^^;;

A job NOW? (and I though my parents were nuts...)

I hope it's not the tuition crunch that's motivating your mom (like it is in my case). I think it's more efficient to concentrate on school now, so that you can land a great job when you graduate, instead of trying to study and work at the same time and getting neither done right. I saw too many people like that at community college.

More practically: Assume you do get employed now. Would you be willing to start the job search anew after you graduate, only two years into this first job? It would be awkward for you to just go, especially if you like the work. Most likely you'll just continue at whatever job you get now.

And you might miss some better opportunities that you'd get if you waited until you graduated. Most jobs that require a BS degree are better-paying than jobs that can be easily done by people still in college.

This is the single best reason to postpone working that I've heard so far, and I hope it works for you as it did for me.

I'm not sure what'll make me more appealing to a game company after I graduate, seeing how I'll still have no experience in anything and no networking/contacts. May as well start now, with internships if I can.

The thing is, I'm not searching for "most jobs". The jobs I want to get into, you won't even need a degree if you're good enough. And it's not like I'll have an art degree anyways.

Anyway, I'm not the one you need to convince...
