Rocking The Career Fair

By Franklin Skribbit


Building a website can be fun as well as a lot of hard work. While there are many CMS (content management system) that do most of the work you will find that even if you are not writing the code understanding it and being able to alter it can be enormous assets in your web development toolkit. There are many different computer languages to learn for web development but here are the first five you should delve into (in order of importance).

Before The Fair

Your preparation should begin before you arrive at the career fair. The first thing that you need to do is identify your goal. What do you hope to accomplish at the fair? Are you looking for an internship, a job, or to network? Perhaps it is all three, but knowing exactly why you are going will help you determine how to best prepare.

Along with the wide grip make sure that the pen you choose is very comfortable. People's hands are all different, no surprise there. So it should not be a surprise that the comfort of pens will be different for different people. Try holding pens in the store before you buy them to make sure that you have found the right pen for you.

Some examples of comfortable pens may include: EZgrip, Pilot G2s, Pentel Energels, pilot's Dr Grip, UGLee pens, or even purchasing add on grips to your normal pen. Shop around and find what you prefer.

After having spent this entire time finding the right pen you don't want to have to do it again. If you can find a nicer pen that takes replaceable ink so you can use it over and over. If you prefer some reusable pens are also very comfortable. I personally preferred to find a great pen and use it through my college career; to each his own.

The latest version of CSS is CSS3. You can go ahead and learn that one first without worrying about differences that exist in previous versions. Remember, you can surf the web looking for designs you like and borrow the code. A better method would be to buy a design template that gives you alteration rights and work from there. You can also use free programs like composer to better see your CSS in action. If you are hoping for greater control Dreamweaver has always been a favorite but unfortunately it is not free.

At The Fair

Pull out your list of companies and make your way through the fair in the order you have prepared previously. Approach each company warmly with a firm handshake. Be friendly and listen to the recruiter so you can best explain how you can solve the company's issues. Often you have to wait in line to speak to company contacts. Listen to the conversations ahead of you while you wait to gather in background information that will help you in your turn.

2. Hold Your Pen Correctly! I know you just read about holding your pen but it needs to be brought up again. During the test you will find that your concentration on the task at hand will cause you to forget about your grip until you realize you are cramping.

Every ten minutes or so, stop and look at your hand. If you are gripping to tightly drop the pen. If you need to stretch a little bit and then pick up the pen making sure that you are holding it correctly If you catch yourself holding the pen tightly, drop it, stretch if necessary and then begin again.

3. Take Breaks Space out breaks evenly during your test. For during a two hour test perhaps every fifteen minutes set your pen down for five seconds and just relax your hand. You can also throw some stretching in during these breaks. This break time does not need to be unproductive. In fact it can be highly beneficial if you use it as time to evaluate what you have wrote and what you plan to write. This will help you maintain a holistic view of your paper and help you write a better.

The language is also easily scalable but the more information you place in the database the more processing power you will need to dedicate to it. If you are carrying personal data in your system MySQL also has a high level of security built into it. Built to work well and be easy to use MySQL is probably where you want to start (although there are other languages you could use). Really no special tips for learning this language. If you have already learned the languages above MySQL really should not present a problem for you.

Organize the notes you took and record the information so it accessible in the future. The career fair is your time to shine. Regardless of if you are from a college in St George, New York, or Florida now is your time represent your school and yourself and find the job you are looking for.
