Last week my school had the job fair. I visited about 16 companies that I am interested in and submitted my resume to all of those that would take it. Some of them just aren't looking for someone with my education and interests. Some of them the recruiters seemed to have their head up their ass. I took notes after every conversation on what they suggested I do. Some of them told me to apply through their web site. Some told me to apply through the school's career center. I have applied through the career center and I am going to submit on the companies' sites tomorrow. Is there anything else I should do?
One company had a guy doing exactly what I wanted to do and we chatted a bit at the fair. He seemed really excited and he gave me a business card and said to call him if I had any questions then he handed me a huge bag of the company schwag (cup, pen, pencil, highlighter, handheld radio, notebook, etc) that nobody else was getting. I would love to work for them and I want to pursue this heavily but I am not sure what else to do that is proper. Should I call him at work on Monday and have a brief conversation with him and ask a few questions or email him or what?
Since the job fair, I was rushed into two different company interviews at the end of last week. One was a technical interview and the guy said he was passing my resume to HR. Another was a situational storytelling sort of interview and the guy told me to apply on their web site through their system and he would attach his recommendation to my online application. Should I be sending these guys a terse thank you note of some sort?
Do you have any other suggestions for me? I'd appreciate any advice that you can give me. I am graduating in December and I have basically cut my ties for staying here. I need to get a job or I am going to have to ask my parents for assistance for the first time in a lot of years so I am not against going an extra mile if it might help my chances to get a job even a little.
