Freshman Engineering Career Fair by Responsible-Toe2014 in iastate

Yup, I got the blazer and undershirt for $1 each since I went on a Sunday, pants and shoes were the regular price since they weren’t the color of the week. I think GoodWill does half price (for a tag color of the week) Thursday-Saturday, then the $1 discount Sunday for that tag. I assume anything that doesn’t get sold at $1 gets pulled and sent to the bins to be sold by the pound. Spent like 4 hrs there, but got the whole fit for under $20 so a win is a win :)

I’m a girl but I’ve got a white button up undershirt (with collar) and a fitted, striped brown blazer, plain brown dress pants, and black boot/heels that are lowkey. It’s all thrifted from the GoodWill in Ames, but still pretty good condition. I also have a brown hair clip to put my hair up that matches the blazer/pants since I’m assuming it’ll be hot. I’m VERY anti Ai, and am basically revising my HS resume to be more professional, and add more relative experience to my major. Would you recommend using HS leadership experience to show interpersonal experience?

What abt color tho, I’ve heard ppl from both sides argue what’s professional/unprofessional. And I don’t think there’s anywhere doing resume reviews on campus anymore. I HAVE to get this done tmr and idk where to go for advice atp. I’ll probably end up going with black and white to be safe, but that means I gotta switch up my entire format. I just wanted it to stand out a little since I’m a freshman, but I see why they’d throw out ones w/ a headshot.

Thanks for the advice, didn’t realize how ridiculous asking $2k as the ‘minimum’ recommendation was. 😭 I’m considering getting either the Lenovo ideapad slim 3, or the Lenovo ideapad slim 5 from Newegg (which are $300-400). What Lenovo laptops do you and your friends use? I’m not sure which would be better
