I got a job offer today! This guy who works for a Technology consulting firm in Arkansas called me up because he saw my resume on Monster.com, but he didn't realize I was still in college. So I called him back and talked to him for a couple of minutes. I told him I was still in school but would be graduating in August. He asked if I was looking to stay in the area, but of course I'm not, so I told him that I was looking to be in Houston. He said they just opened their Houston office! Yeah, baby! So he said he would hang onto my resume and told me to give him a call later this year and we'll talk then. I was like, yes!!
He also told me that the leaders in the IT and computer fields are looking for people who can program in C#... I'm taking a class in C# for game programming right now, and will be gathering books on this. He told me if I could, to get as much experience in C# as possible. This makes me feel so much better about my prospects of a job after graduation.
I just polished up my resume last night and have been browsing my Monster search agents. I have quite a few job postings saved and can't wait to start the hunt. It won't be easy but I can take the rejections with the good news. It's a bit scary... hell, I'm scared spitless. I've never searched for a job in this field before, at least not in the real world, but I have my experience as a student technical consultant to fall back on. Maybe that will be good to sway employers. I mean it's more than three years experience, so that's got to count for something.
I'm so stoked about that phone call!!
