Mason's Job Fair

Today I was able to attend Mason's Job Fair. I've never been to one at school here but it was an exciting experience. There were employers from different corporations including national and local businesses. Some organizations were focused on Fairfax County based on the location for their headquarters. From a guest speaker in another COMM course, I learned that many parts of the county are often overlooked when it comes to the economy. There are hotspots for business in Tyson's Corner, Reston and Fairfax but little areas like Merrifield and Vienna deserve some attention as well. The foundations for the Internet actually began in the McLean area.

For an AVT major, it's difficult because we could work almost anywhere that needs promotional materials with logo branding. Most of the job opportunities were for accounting and business majors. I was considering some of the construction groups because they had architectural applications. It's something I would be interested in because I could apply design elements.

I love free stuff too. A common product given out were stress balls and pens. Interesting.
