So, here is a conversation that happened today at the career fair:
Recruiter: Hi!
Me: Hi! *Gives shpeel about self*
Recruiter: What do you know about (insert company name here)?
Me: You checked the "Aerospace Engineering" box on majors you were looking for.
Recruiter:...
Me:...
Recruiter: Well, I'll take your resume, but without knowing anything about our company, I can't really help you. (While actually thinking, "There is no way we'd hire someone who couldn't even take the time to look up what we do.")
Me: *Hands resume over with completely red face*
Recruiter:...
Me: Have a good day! *Runs away and leaves the Career Fair because she's so embarrassed*
So, yeah. That happened. It was so terrible. My face was hot and, I'm pretty sure, bright red. That hasn't happened in a while. The other companies I talked to were okay. Lockheed-Martin seemed interested and told me that I should definitely apply online. And SpaceX wasn't even there! :( I really wanted to talk to them. Oh well.
