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.

TKD!!! HACK HACK HACK HACK!!
Okay, so how do I get login privileges?
So why was the careers person “appalled”? Isn’t it a good thing to get jobs on your resume?
You should kick her.

Just happened to look around here again…yep, jerk face indeed. Was the person who looked at your resume someone from the careers office, or a person from a company doing resume critiques? Hope job hunting + grad-school applying has been going well. And happy holidays =)
