During the event, I brought many problems upon myself.
I feared of not reaching my goal of 10 tweets and interviewing employers and job seekers.
I was nervous and jittery; My first couple interviews suffered due to juggling my note pad and phone while asking and answering questions.
I botched a couple interviews with Aflac insurance and the NSA.
I learned threw out the job fair that good interviews are a result of how you look and conduct yourself as a journalist.
I got the vibe from a few employers that I was a tad under dressed.
The result being that the employers didn't take me seriously and didn't give me the information that I was seeking.
The morning of I rolled out of bed, threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater t-shirt not thinking of how I looked.
I was tired from the previous night and did not give a second thought of how I looked.
I wished I would have worn at least a collared shirt and combed my hair.
I also felt a little embarrassment when the whole class interviewed Veronica Boreland.
I was struggling to keep up with my notes because of the questions and answers where coming to fast.
I made the mistake of assuming that I could record her.
When in reality I should have asked her first.
Covering the AACC job fair has taught me a lot and has given me a new appreciation for Journalism writing.
I struggle a lot with writing notes while interviewing someone; to me it is very unnatural to try to maintain a conversation, write, and have my next question maintain relevancy to the interview.
