Abhinaya lyer

“Llfe ls too short, so don’t Mste lt
lrvrng someone else’s” The founder of Apple,
Steve Jobs, sard thrs durrng one ofhrs speeches
and belreves that everyone has the potentral to
be the best rn therr career rf they start lrvrng
and dorng for themselves A career farr was
held atHT on Februaryé, 2016 at Herman Hall
between 12 pm untr14 pm It opened doors
for manystudents, and offered not only for full
trme robs, but even summer rnternshrps Both
the students and the number of companres
that turned up were more than compared the
prevrous career farr, last fall

Enercon ms a companythatseemed
to catch an eye amongst the archrtectural
engrneers, envrronmental and management
students W'l Tronlx had a motrwtrng quote,
“Changlng the world wrth exceptlonal people,”
rust llke the students at UT Aerospace
engrneersseemedto all be queuedupm frontof
Unrted Arrlrnes rn dreams ofpursurng prlotrng
as a career Mrd Electronlcs ms another crowd
favorrte, especrally amongst mechanrcal and
electrrcal engrneers All students standrng rn
lrne were m rntense medrtatron on what to say,
and were fidgetlng wrth therr beautrful and
perfect clothes

had three people

rntervrewrng multrple students, yet therr
1rne never ceased to ernst, and they seemed
enthusrastrc about therr upcomrng rnterns
and Workers For all archrtects, the Amerrcan
lnstrtute of Archrtects was present and
seemed to be talklng to students about thelr
rnterests and the rnsprratron behrnd selectrng
archrtecture as a maror They sard, “The
students here are great wlth therr own unlque
rdeas Also, the students from all over the
world brrng rn drfrerent perspectrves whrch
creates greater scope for archrtecture m the
future 7’ Looks llke all thesleepless nrghtsspent
draftrng by the archrtects rs worth rt rn the endl
Texperts Incms also favored, rt had three 1rnes
and was another crowd favorrte, especrally
amongst mechanrcal engrneers and computer
scrence maiors

SPR consultrng, yet another crowd
favorrte, was rmpressed wrth rts candrdates
and sard, “All students here are so motrvated
that 1t changes our perspectrve as employers”
Motrvatron 1s the key to gettrng all students
through college wrth a srngle competrtor,
ourselves Perkms Eastman Archrtecture was
another favorrte amongst young buddrng
archrtects who were nervously smoothrng
therr dresses and revrsrtrng portfolros Our
sponsor for the afternoon, Sargent and Lundy,
expressed a keen rnterest m our students Therr
vrce presrdent sard, “Our company rs as old as

HT, 125 years, and we are strll countrng As a
result, the bound weshare wrth HT rs deep and
a good worltrng relatronshrp Yet after these
many years, HT never ceases to amaze me
W|th lts talented students It ls because Ofthls
we sponsored the career farr and hope that the
bond runs forever”

Students were busy mlkmg from
company to company erther tummg m
resumes or revrvrng old relatronshrps wrth
employers

The envrronment was rntense yet
had a certarn calmrng effect rn the arr The
brrght sun was also a huge motrwtron factor
after the prevrous gloomy days and seemed to
msprre ourstudents

Akshar Patel at career servrces
sard, “flue career farr offers opportunrtres for
students to rnteract wrth employers and help
to burld worltrng relatronshrps Dependrng on
the tlme of the year, the fall“ seems to lnterest
drfferent students Thrs year, students were
more motrvated and came through our doors
wrth all sorts of questrons We trred our best
to answer therr questlons and grve them trps
on how to approach the rntervrew There are
many stones to tell and I belreve that rt rs a
grandsuccess” In a nutshell, the career farrwas
a great success and we hope that all students
who pass out thrs year have a successful career
and futurel
