09 Spring Career Fair

The embodiment of deepening economic downturn is packed career fair. Last Wednesday, I headed to Homewood Campus at Baltimore to participate in my first job fair in the U.S.

I got there at 1 P.M., which normally is see-you time in a career fair. There was still many students walking arround in the Rec. Center for their job hunting. Not to my surprise, positions of many big companies are fopen or U.S. citizen or Green Card holder only. Even internship application is not easy. Take Accenture as an example, they do not recurit foreign students in their intern program.

What I did on that day is submit my CV to FDA for summer intern application. But, they did not come back to me until now... I may go HW again on March 3, to meet FDA representative and follow up my intern opportunity.

It is a experience anyway. Nothing to win or loose.
