Recruiting
I've noticed over the semester that all my business school friends, and I guess people throughout the business school in general, are constantly walking around in suits, preparing for interviews. It's recruiting season, and a lot of companies have been coming to campus lately for interviews. I know people that have had 4 or 5 interviews in a week. How many have I had, you ask? Zero. Why? I'm not entirely sure.
Like I said, there's been a lot of companies, but they're mostly looking for finance and accounting/PPA majors. Of those companies that are looking for marketing majors, there haven't been any that I think I'd even want to work for. A partial list, because I can't remember most of them, include Caterpillar, Raytheon, Lord Abbett, General Mills, Proctor & Gamble, Kimberly-Clark, and Phillip Morris.
Proctor & Gamble is like the marketing capital of the world, but as such, they only accept the absolute best of the applicants, and my semi-retarded GPA pretty effectively keeps me out of the running for that. Kimberly-Clark I've heard is a horrible place to work from friends, and General Mills I just missed the deadline. At the other companies though, what would a marketing position entail? At Caterpillar, I guess I'd try to sell bulldozers, and at Phillip Morris I'd be selling death. I don't really know what I want to do with my life yet, and I definitely am not ready to graduate in May. If I could only find an excuse to stay a bit longer...
