Good luck and look your best!

Michigan Tech’s IT department has shut down its services for the rest of this week due to all of the IT employ-ees being too busy drooling all over their desks over the new Google upgrade. Glenn Mroz gave the okay for the department to take a school-sanctioned holiday – this will give the IT folks ample time to rest, day-dream, and lick their monitors in the privacy of their own homes.

The school plans to make the tran-sition to the great Google Suite this semester, a decision which has been met with praise and criticism alike. Many students are in favor of using Google – one senior noted, “I just wish they had done this four years ago. I still remember the great Ze-bra crossover of 2009…” Opinions against Google have been plentiful, but due to government regulations

dictating the instant “elimination” of Google-haters, we have been un-able to gather any evidence of the discontent.

Students will soon have access to Gmail, Calendar, Docs, and several never-before-seen features such as Google Boobles (a beta-test of Google’s porn site that hopes to rival YouTube spinoffs like YouPorn), Google Schoogle (like Google Scholar, except it writes your pa-pers for you), and Google Poodle (a style guide geared toward teaching engineers how to dress properly in the real world, outside their dorm rooms).

Great Advice for Career Fair

Alright everyone, the almighty Career Fair is today! Now, all the com-panies are already aware that the Spring Career Fair is for the overly-desperate, so here’s some top notch advice on how to stand out from your other jobless competitors:

Wear Hot Pink: By being bold enough to not follow conformity and to damage the eyes of recruiters, the choice to wear hot pink is ideal. Power red tie? Fuck that shit. Fluorescent Flamingo pink shirt will assert your dominance. If you’re a girl, make sure to wear a hot pink button up with matching hot pink heels. It shows that you’re a real go-getter.

Don’t Shake Hands: Instead, go for the bro-hug. Or the fist bump. If the company rep goes for a handshake and you go for the fist bump, congratulations! Awkward turkey. This shows your originality and that you’re willing to take risks.

Give the Recruiter a Nickname: Instead of addressing the recruiter by the name s/he gives you, make up a nickname on the spot, prefer-ably about some flaw in their appearance. Think of something they’ll

be sure to not forget, and therefore not forget about you! Rat-Tail, Mr. Mole-Face and Dr. Pit Stains are good examples.

Don’t Bring a Resume: You should take up all of the recruiter’s time, and ev-eryone else waiting to talk to said recruiter, by simply rambling your resume off by heart. You don’t need to print it on a piece of

Professors seem mixed on the idea of change. While some see it as ri-valing the glory that is the Canvas-Blackboard transition, some older faculty members are expressing their skepticism. Said one old-as-dirt geologist, “What was wrong with Squirrel Mail? No bells. No whistles. Then they gave us Zeembara, or whatever, and now they want us to use The Google? Back in my day, students had to write their papers by hand! With blood-ink from their own veins! And if they didn’t we could whip ‘em! And—“ Unfortunately, several CIA agents swiftly and stealthily injected this professor with Googlecide. He perished instantly for

paper to show just how fucking awesome you are. While you’re at it, make up your GPA. It’s not like they can compare it against your resume. Problem solved. Job aquired.

Take a Shot: If you’re one of those people who get really, really, really nervous having to interact with people who con-trol whether or not your family is proud or forces you to enlist after g r a d u a t i o n , take a shot. Or two. Hell, just for safety, go for three or four. Everyone knows that al-cohol is social lubricant and liquid confidence. You’ll be so excited to tell them about everything that you did and why is it that your ex broke up with you and you’re just lone-ly and doesn’t that recruiter smell just so good...

Be Important: This step is easy. Make up some random organiza-tion name, say you’re the presi-dent, that it’s a new student org that isn’t listed or related to the university in any way, shape or form yet, and brag about made up awesome shit that you’ve

done by being the Supreme President of Pretzels for Peace.

These are the key factors into securing a full time job for those graduating, and a good way to score a sweet summer internship so you no longer have to slave away at a minimum wage job for 40 hours in the summer. Good luck!
