We booked the package on priceline.com including hotel and flight. Oct 26, we supposed to fly to Cincinnatti by Delta Airline, but one flight attandent was not comfortable, so the whole flight just cancelled. We could not get any other flights to Cincinnatti util Oct 27 morning. We negotiated with Delta Airline, and finally they compensated us to stay in Holiday Inn hotel near airport, and then next day, we take NWA to Indianapolis. Afterward, two vans will drive us to Cincinnatti.
So, this morning, we woke up around 4:30 in order to get the flight on 7 am. It was raining when we arrived Indianapolis, and two van drivers were not satisfied about the vouchers provided by Delta. because it only gave them 140 and they only want drive us to airport, not to the conference center. Moreover, his driving skill was horrible. He backward directly on highway, chatting with friends while driving, and almost hit the previous truck. Finally, we arrived at the center safe and sound, but paid him an extra total $55. Our willingness to pay was a little higher even though we were not that willing to pay him an extra.
It was noon time, and the expo was close until 2:15 pm. It is a meat market, selling people in suit. Keep talking to people, marketing yourself, and getting some souvenirs. I met one high school classmate, and one university classmate. Just amazing, we haven't met each other since graduation, and now met them in CINCINNATTI. What a coincidence.
Cincinnatti, well, compared with Twin Cities, is pretty small and is not very prosperous. And companies from Minnesota form an area called Minnesota Boulevard. Carlson school booth is in there too.
Basically it is the same as career expo in Taiwan, but the only difference is candidate could be interviewed right at the conference center. One of my classmate got 2nd round interview by medtronic, I think it almost equals to an offer.
In my opinion, it is a good event to join so that you could konw how popular you are in the job market now. We saw many students from Simon (U of Rochester), Thunderbird, and Kelly. Somehow I found that finding a job is related to your confidence and interview skill. Of course, experience is important, but I mean if without a shining experience, those two things are very critical to get a job in US.
該是用中文寫些比較難表達的事情
由於班機在最後一刻被延誤 達美航空把我們改訂西北的班機 因為是最後一刻才轉到別的班機 所以登機證上出現了SSSS的字樣 在經過安檢時候就享有特別禮遇 徹徹底底檢查一遍 還好我們有提早到機場 沒延誤到班機 慘的是來回變成都要這樣檢查 而聽說當初那位生病的空姐是新人 不敢上飛機值勤 加上晚上找不到人所以才取消整班班機 不敢上飛機的空姐也蠻少見的
另外值得一提的是大部分公司提供的紀念品都相當精美 還有不少大手筆的獎項 DaimelarChrysler甚至還提供抽賓士的機會 送ipod printer的 藥廠的各式藥品 J&J P&G的各種生活用品 喝不完的可樂零食等等 已經比股東會的紀念品高上不少等級 也成為沒有面試時的在會場裡的另類娛樂 尤其最後一天下午就是百貨公司大清倉大拍賣的時候 最好是空手進去 先到提供大袋子的公司裡拿個袋子 然後就開始尋寶 入場費的一百多塊 這樣考慮下來就不算太貴了 當然找工作才是最主要的目的啦 僅供娛樂參考
