On Monday I attended the 2012 Startup DC Student Career Fair on my alma mater’s campus, The George Washington University. I typically wouldn’t attend events that had the word “startup,” but I was inspired by Soledad O’brien of CNN’s most recent “Black in America.” After watching the show I went to twitter and I “met” Wayne Sutton the entrepreneur, advisor, technology journalist, social media guru and frankly he is a nice person! I always have great ideas in which I would love to be able to integrate my passion for effective government with new media use, so why not check the career fair out! Wayne has graciously given me awesome tips, so if you were smart you would check him out at SocialWayne.com. I was just thinking, if DC could get Mr. Sutton to come out and promote technology– wow! That would be awesome! Thanks again Wayne, you are an inspiration!
Here are a few things I took away from the career fair:
1. Women. There were very few women at the event if any.
2. It was the least pretentious job fair I have been to—ever.
3. My favorite startup was hands down Washingtonian startup- “The Tie Society” they describe themselves as Netflix for Neckties. Check them out!
