busy busyyyy =O

Whats goin everyone. Hope you had a good week. My week was extremely busy. Between Delta Sigma Pi events, meetings for the College Audit Committee that I serve on, and the Career Fair on Wednesday, I’ve had to wear my suit like 4/5 days this week…intense. The career fair by the way was excellent; It was sponsored by the Accounting Students Association. About 15 accounting firms were here recruiting students for internships and jobs. I submitted my resume to a bunch of firms, and I have a few interviews pending-- so I’m very excited about that. My friend just accepted an offer for a full-time position after interning for the summer at PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the “Big 4” accounting firms. I’m really excited for him, I’m hoping my combination of technical/educational training and relevant work experience will lead me to the same. The Career Center is a great resource on campus and they have been so helpful with critiquing my resume and providing some great interview and strategy techniques. One of my friends who graduated last year from another college was telling me he paid a service $200 to have his resume evaluated and critiqued. I was shocked…Siena kids get this service (and more) for free from the career center. They also have this awesome website called CareerSaint which is like Siena’s job and internship database. I can view open positions, submit my resume, and schedule an interview without going in for an appointment, right from my computer…pretty cool.
Anyways, I am definitely looking forward to relaxing a little bit this weekend despite the massive amount of homework I have lined up……good times (??)
Hopefully you will all get some time to chill out as well.
Have a good one-

Greg
