Which is interesting that they should choose to throw it smack into the middle of E-week (it's currently National Engineering Week ( Read more... )

Awww, I'm sorry. =(
What kind of a job are you looking for? Is it for the summer?

I just don't get why the hardest week of the semester always seems to be E-week. I didn't have time to go to the career fair :( I was all dressed up and had a list of companies I wanted to see...and then couldn't go. Next semester I guess I have to, or else, shit. Why's it so fobby and intimidating?

Pretty much every engineer I've talked to this week has wondered why it's the hardest too. And I think it's intimidating because suddenly we find ourselves competing with all of our peers and feel pressured to get a job nailed down, etc.
The good news is that, from what Mini-Matt tels me, a lot of the ME/AME/Aerospace companies do all of their recruiting online, so you probably didn't miss too much, just check out their websites.
