why MIT career office sucks
i haven’t been to the career office since my freshman year… and i’ve heard rumors that they aren’t very good (especially with pre-med stuff).
but lo and behold, those rumors hold some string of truth!! let me tell you about my experience…
i waited patiently to get my resume reviewed because i was applying for consulting companies. after twenty minutes of waiting, at last i got to meet with someone. names were exchanged and a hand shake shook. i told her that i’m an engineering major, but am looking into applying for consulting companies; therefore, i needed help to change my resume. she asked me when the last time i came to career office; i said my freshman year. she glanced at the resume and looked at me. she asked, “and you got jobs with this resume?” appalled, i said, “yeah…. i worked at lockheed and bose.” wow, what a jerkface. don’t be surprised that people don’t need career office critique. actually now that i’ve experience firsthand how they clearly belittle people, i probably won’t ever go back. so lame.
