I don't know why I bother...

"UW Career Services" predictably put on another pathetic career fair. While you can't fault them for the crappy economy, I can think of plenty of other reasons to feel insulted by the sorry event that was today's career fair. In a company ISN'T hiring, why should they be allowed a booth at the fair? Makes no sense to me. Not to mention that the low number of reputable companies present... another reason why I shouldn't have bothered attending.

Most of the companies I talked to aren't interested in hiring people at all - at least not people in business or IT/IS. Lots were looking for sales, even more were shamelessly searching for slave labor AKA unpaid interns with little or no guarantee of a "real" position at the end of the internship.

Even the free stuff they were giving away was sorry... pens? Sucka, please.

The highlight of my day was post-career fair, going out to dinner with Shiv at one of my favorite U-District restaurants, Snow Garden. Their adobo chicken... YUM. I just love the way the tender, flavorful meat just falls right off the bone.
