Job Hunt Part 1

When I woke up today (much later than I should be allowed) I had a nice email from Patricia Morgan stating that Cisco was going to be at the Computer Science building today. I dusted off my old resume file and updated it to include my most recent changes, when I realized something; I am done with internships. It seems like for as long as I can remember I have been in an internship over each Summer. My last year without a summer job (that was paid) was between sophomore and junior year of high school. So I got to edit my objective today to state that I was looking for full time employment instead. I got to talk with a Cisco employee who I knew graduated from here last year and he seemed pretty happy with my resume. I hadn't ever considered Cisco a company for me, but the more that I think about it, the more I can find possible opportunities there. They are based in nice places all over the country, such as San Jose, CA. He said that if I got hired, I would be interviewing my possible team leaders and picking the team and project that I most would want to work on, which I think is pretty cool. We'll see how this turns out. As always, I will hope for the best, but this is in a long series of job hunt stories. I am going to be pushing my resume in every direction I can this year and hopefully will have a few options come graduation.
