A CRY FOR HELP

UGH YOU GUYS. JOB FAIR TOMORROW. FREAKING OUT. Come to think of it, I don't even know if any of my clothes are business-y enough. What do you say in an elevator speech?? This is my first job fair and I feel like SUPERN00B, TO THE FAIL. Can't I just shove my resume at them and run away?! Despite the appeal of this approach, I have heard it is not the best way to do things. :(

I'm mostly looking for a summer internship, but if any of them wants to give me a job come next year, I would not be opposed! How do I get them to give me these things?? YOU GUYS. What do you say to these people? How much do you say?? How much do I tell them what I want? How much do I ask them what THEY want? What else should I ask them?? What do they WANT FROM ME??

DDDDD: Please hold my hand and share with me your nuggets of job fair wisdom.

Employers of interest to me: Better Business Bureau, CDS International, Common Cents, Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, International YMCA, Department of Transportation (IM IN UR METRO DELAYIN UR TRAINZ), One World Foundation, Social Science Research Council.

Never having held employment, unless you count the time I was a driver for my dad and had to drive a truck at 1/2mph up a steep hill while he sprayed weeds out the back, I have no advice on that front.

But your mood icon, on the other hand, is MADE OF WIN.

YOU WILL DAZZLE THEM

MAKE SURE TO WEAR YOUR AWESOMEPANTS

In serious news, you can totally do this, I have confidence in your ability to impress them! Also I do not have good advice, only to talk with people and don't be shy (easier said than done I know), because I too am struggling with this job thing where I have no idea what to do. <3 hang in there!
