Career Fair; the one event that happens every semester that the majority of the student body is never prepared for. We here at The Bull have collectively gone to many Career Fairs and we have gathered up a few tips for success! Follow these and you’ll have no problem getting any job you can imagine!

1: Recycle those old resumes!The number one thing that most students don’t realize is that the typical student really hasn’t done anything since the last time they updated their resume. Sure, your GPA is different, but asides from that, you haven’t done much outside of sit-ting at your computer and leveling up in League of Legends. A crafty student knows to take their old resume and just update all of the numbers!

2: Who needs to research companies?General Motors, Nucor Steel, Dow Chemical, GE Aviation. What do all those companies have in common? Well for one, they’re all at the Career Fair, but more importantly you know what they do just by reading their names. A crafty Career Fair attendee needs to do nothing more than read all of the company names!

3: Dress for comfort!Everyone knows that one person who went to career fair in a T-Shirt and got a job, so why can’t you? Wearing those shorts and flip-flops will give you that extra sense of style that no one else has! Plus with all of that extra time you’ll have from getting dressed, you can focus on lots of other things!

4: Walmart is always open to buy Resume suppliesIt’s 2AM on Monday morning and you realized you didn’t print any resumes for the fair. Up on top of the hill in Hough-ton is a beacon of hope, Walmart! This shopping mecca nev-er closes, so no matter when the realization hits you, they will always have the resume goods you need!

Hey! Listen!

We’re online!

from Gucci on front5: Shots always make things betterIf LMFAO taught us anything, it’s that SHOTS make anything better! If you’re dreading talking to that company rep, just take a swig from your flask, and BAM, the nervousness is gone! Don’t forget to share with the recruiters too, as they have to spend six hours standing and talking to thousands of students.

6: Keep checking that cell phone!Recruiters understand that you’re very important, so checking your texts mid conversation with one of them is a great way to show the recruiters “I’m very important and you should know that!” 7: Your Xbox Gamerscore is VERY importantThere’s nothing that a recruiter likes to see more than a student who is good at completing tasks and challenges. Most people would consider this to be work experiences, but they’re all wrong. Your Gamerscore shows that you can take the initiative to complete difficult challenges.

8: Info sessions are a waste of timeAfter spending time talking with a company at the Career Fair, it’s quite the waste of time to spend yet even more time going to their info session. They never tell you important information and they certainly don’t keep track of who goes to those sort of things.

busy getting my tolerance back up that I’ve barely left the DT.”

The few fans of football had legitimate questions regarding the timing. “Why couldn’t we have had Homecoming in October!?” one proclaimed. “We could have done all of this in early October, and we would have even had the chance to pummel Northern in a snowy Football game!”

When confronting the Athletic Department about this, their reasoning was less than reassuring. “With the purchase of the new scoreboard in The Mac, we’ve have to shift what little attention the Football team gets over to Hockey. To effectively do this, we needed to make sure even less fun was had at the Homecoming Football game.”

Multiple students had to confess that while they knew about Homecom-ing, they were so busy with preparing for Career Fair that they had to skip the few events of the week. “Seriously, that preach about how important Career Fair is and then schedule Homecoming for the weekend before it. It’s like a test to see if we really care about school spirit.”

One student later asked, “Aren’t there normally people dressed as hobos during Homecoming?” We had to let this 7th year know that in Michigan Tech’s focus on tradition, they decided to kill off the best ones. Fearful for the fate of his beloved Winter Carnival, this student promptly sprinted to Jim’s to start stocking up on handles of Popov.

From our time in the field, it appears that students and Alumni alike are furious and demanding that Homecoming be restored to its former glory. However, the University is looking at budget cuts to make the eventual tuition-hike look like even more of a joke, which includes nixing Homecoming altogether and just putting up posters telling students to “Just be happy you still have Carni, dammit.”

Monday MadlibThe (NOUN) crisis of 2007–2009, also known as the Global (NOUN) Crisis, is considered by

many economists the worst (NOUN) crisis since the (PROPER NOUN) of the 1930s. It resulted in

the (VERB) of total collapse of large (NOUN), the (VERB) of (NOUN) owned by national govern-

also suffered, resulting in (PLURAL NOUN), (PLURAL NOUN), and prolonged unemployment. Many
