Finding a Job
My first experience with on campus recruiting!
Have you ever seen students wearing suits around campus, and they seem to look out of place? They probably have an on campus interview at the CDC! Like I said in one of my previous posts, as part of on campus recruiting not only is the CDC bringing companies to Career Fairs or workshops, they […]

Final Round Interview
So I did it! I’m done with my final round interview! It’s such a relieving feeling. Everything went much more smoothly than I was expecting. 🙂 I was one of four candidates. Our day started with a briefing from one of the employees in HR about what to expect for the day. Then, they placed each of […]
Interviews and Job Searching.
I have absolutely no idea what the status of my job search is. On one hand, I feel behind. I feel like although I’ve applied to some jobs, I still need to apply for A LOT more. As I look at the spreadsheet I made of all of the positions and companies I’ve applied to, I […]

Energy Panel- A wealth of information and insight
Hi all, I had a chance to attend the energy panel on wednesday and oh boy! it turned out to be a treat. There were 3 panelists from very different work areas and very different backgrounds. We had a graduate each from the ’80s, 90’s and 2000’s. The mix was perfect to get a broader perspective […]
Right here, right now- On-Campus Recruiting
Hey Guys, Last term, I had the opportunity to interview with Exxon Mobil right here on-campus. It was a unique experience considering I was applying for a job that was open somewhere in Texas. It made me appreciate the resources provided to us by the CDC. I personally think that on-campus recruiting is a great […]
