Mock Career Fair Get there early. I vaguely remember hearing those words during our first seminar class together, and as soon as I entered the door I could see why. Sadly due to my schedule, which had me going from 12:30 to 3:20, getting there early was not an option. However that lesson is one that will not soon be forgotten, and hopefully during the real career fair my schedule will be a little bit more open. The first table I stopped by was the McGladery booth. To be completely honest, going into the conversation I had no idea what it actually was the McGladery actually did. In elementry school I had a friend whose father worked for the company, and since then I had always been curious. But after briefly introducing myself to the recruiter, I informed him that I was a first year smeal student who was looking for general information on different companies.

After about 30 seconds he just directed me to a series of pamphlets and said have a nice day.

    For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons.

I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm.
