I recently returned from a trip to Europe, which I could fill pages writing about. But that’s not the purpose of this post. Before I left for Europe, I graduated from Oregon State University with my MBA. Because of the trip I had delayed doing much serious job looking. However, I am now back and job looking, and it is scary. For all my business schooling I do not have much idea of how to go about job looking, just what people have told me. While in school I felt lucky that I did not need to work to pay for tuition and rent, my family was kind enough to help out there. But because I did not need to work, I did not do so very much.
It’s taken me a few days to start getting myself in the right mind set, and I am only at the point of sending resumes to companies that I know of and would like to work for. My older brother Scott Fish has invited me to join him at a few networking events around Portland which I plan to attend. There are a few people that I have met through career fairs at OSU that I plan on contacting. But there are no leads yet.
While I do not know how to go about all of this, I do not feel worried. One thing that I am confident of is that I will find a job. Where? I don’t know. With what company? I have no clue. When will I find the job? Hopefully soon.
