Hello, This is my first non introductory post. I had a question. I ama student, and I was looking for something that’d go well at an internship fair. Probably 30 booths, in a large area, mostly younger recruiter types. I have a very dominant personality. I’m always the center of attention, and I can make anyone laugh, but in an on the spot interview type situation, I tend to go fairly unnoticed. I’d like something that would make me seem like the right guy for the job. I NEED an internship this summer, and it’s really my last chance. Thanks!
Oh, my budget is also very very limited. I would probably do a couple TOGO type bottles, and A-314.
I’ve read a lot, and I’m sortof thinking that A-314 and instant shine would be my best bet, but as I am a true blue newbie, I wanted to pros to help out.
If you have time, try each product out individually first to gauge how much you’ll want to use for the fair. It’s mostly for the A314. I haven’t tried it, but from what I’ve read, 1-2 should be enough. As for the shine, well, heh, sometimes never is enough..but for the most part I think you could consider 3 a good limit. Maybe spray the IS over time to build up to 3 sprays. I don’t know how long the fair is. But I would be careful of becoming the “cologne” guy, even if the neroli scent disappears quickly. Just be aware of it I guess. Actually, no scratch that. Don’t be aware of it, just relax, be yourself and act like everything is graaavy. You’ll get an internship.
I agree with phya and runner. A314 is the best for you. I always apply 2 drops. According to expert, it is unlikely to bet OD from A314.
If you know the interviewer is a lady, you may want to use IFM. It can make ladies feel comfortable and relax having you around. She may want you as a colleague. Hehe
You said two to-gos, so I suggest you go for both Instant Shine and Instant Honesty. Use both with A314 for the interview. Can’t go wrong with this combo!
I would use the career/internship fair just to get contacts. Very few companies conduct an interview or recruit on the spot. You can just chat with them for a while and make an impression and get their business card. Follow it up soon with a quick email and/or phone call and send a soft-copy of your resume through email. Check back every week or so until you get a concrete answer. Best of luck to you!
WOW! Awesome responses. Great to find a supportive community where people actually give a damn. I’m glad everyone seems to more or less agree, I was kindof expecting a spectrum of responses. I’ve been to these fairs before, and my resume is pretty tight, I just never really stick out. When people warm up to me, I think I can be a fairly talented conversationalist. So I thought maybe some chemical romance would do the trick.
I think I’ll go for the instante shine and A314 combo. The instant honesty seems like a great pheromone, but I’m TIGHT on cash, so I’ll just try the basics this time.
I’m a little confused as to the action of all this. there will be probably 100-200 people in the area, what lets the person know that the mones are coming from me? Why wouldn’t they just have the A314 reaction to everyone in the area. Sorry, I’m a newb, I know, but I’d like to learn, and I’m also a big fan, of the comma apparently.
So, once the $15 goes through, I’ll be jumping on some A314 and some IS. Hopefully this will happen in time for the carrer fair.
If you’re tight on cash, there’s nothing you can do, but Instant Honesty really is a good suggestion. Perhaps even better than Instant Shine. Gasp (that’s blasphemy!! heh) That ‘old friend’ vibe is really useful, particularly if you’re looking for contacts as nbully suggested (which by the way was a very good suggestion in itself). Fun is great, but as they say, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. And if you’re everyone’s “close, old friend” then..well you know all the right people.
