Overheard

'11 International student: We've definitely talked about marriage because... I mean, I don't have a green card. '14: Anything that requires singing and dancing is really competitive here. '14 Girl: I can't decide whether to buy Ke$ha tickets or donate the money to that cancer charity. '13 Girl: My big mistake was eating spinach for dinner, because then at rush I had to get really creative with when to fart, how to fart and where to fart. '11 Girl looking at a picture of a Lion: This would be my husband if I was a lion. '11 Guy while filling out service-based trip application: I hope they ask you to attach your resume, that would be sick. Saturday during football game, Townie (on cell phone): Yes, $150 of maple.

Jobs are for Snobs

|

When I arrived at Dartmouth a naive little freshman from the hippie enclave of Seattle I had no concept of the terrifying ordeal that is corporate recruiting.

Identifying Your Office Type

|

Jobs are scary. Well, at least the idea of jobs is scary. Whenever I imagine "working," I picture myself in some cramped corner cubicle, hunched over one of those gigantic desktops from the 1990s, wearing the sartorial equivalent of that feeling you get right before booting while my boss and all of my co-workers stand behind me laughing. So maybe I have a super-detailed idea of working.

The Mayers-Rigged Type Indicator

So, resume drop was last week and like clockwork, hordes of '11s scrambled to get themselves a solid foothold in the alleged "real world," which I hear is different than what MTV has led me to believe.

Networking: What Career Services Doesn't Want You to Know

|

There are few words in the English language that elicit a more violent personal reaction from me than "networking." I find the word itself to be annoyingly cutesy one of those dumb corporate buzzwords like "synergize" or "matrix" which everyone loves to throw around but which ultimately lack real meaning and consider the process to be pointless, terrifying and depraved. Perhaps I'm biased by my deep fear of seeking out relative strangers for professional help.

'11 Guy: I would have sex with you if Morgan Freeman narrated it. '12 Guy in the middle on ENGS class: So professor this is a little off topic but is it true you were attacked by pirates?Prof: That is off topic but yes, I'll explain later. '11 SigEp: You're doing corporate recruiting?

Moral: Not everything on the Internet is true. Sometimes this can lead to you being arrested. Sorry, but this is not a confession of my previous life as a porn star.

Dartmouth's My Favorite

Oh hey. You again. I am psyched to see you. You think I'm being sarcastic because of the seemingly unenthusiastic use of periods here, but it's really not that.

Thinking Outside of the Job Box

|

I came to Dartmouth to get a world-class education and eventually, a great job. And as much as I am loving every minute as an undergraduate, I'm SO excited for the options that abound after graduation I can go through corporate recruiting and work in consulting/finance, OR take the LSATs and go to law school!

When Interviews Go Wrong

You've donned your crisp Brooks Brothers suit. You've practiced your game-changing first impression the assured smile, steady eye contact and firm-but-not-death-grip handshake.

Editor's Note

I often hear Dartmouth students off-handily refer to living in New Hampshire as "random." To be fair to my friends, New Hampshire's a small state, it's tucked into a far corner of the United States and it doesn't spend much time in the national spotlight.
