“We send our cotton to Manchester and Lowell, our sugar to New York refineries, our hides to down-east tanneries and our children to Yankee colleges, and are ever ready to find fault with the North because it lives by our folly. We want home manufactures and these we must have, if we are ever to be independent.

—Houston Tri-Weekly Telegraph, 1859

This analysis of the Southern economy on the eve of war was classic. In 1861 the Confederate States had a population of just over 9 million, of whom about 3.5 million were slaves. The population of the United States was approximately 22 million. The South had less than half the railroad mileage of the North, and much of this track (of eleven different gauges) connected points of little military or industrial significance. More than four-fifths of the old Union's manufacturing had been carried on in the North. Southern manufactures in 1860 were worth $69 million, as opposed to $388.2 for the Middle states, $223.1 million for New England, and $201.7 million for the West. Moreover, Southern industries included such enterprises as cigar-making and the processing of chewing tobacco, which would not be very useful in making war on the Yankees. In 1860 the Southern states produced 76,000 tons of iron ore, compared to the 2.5 million tons extracted north of Mason and Dixon's Line. And in the same year Southern iron mills processed less than one-sixteenth of the 400,000 tons of iron rolled in the United States. At birth the Confederate South lacked not only an industrial base, but also the skills, raw materials, and transportation to establish war industries.

Southern capital had long been invested in land and slaves, singularly unliquid asserts. The land and slaves produced-they produced raw staples which were useless in the raw and which as a general rule were refined outside the South. On the eve of war Southern soil grew an estimated four-fifths of the world's supply of cotton. Yet Southern cotton mills were valued in 1860 at about one-tenth of the total valuation of cotton mills in the United States. And armies could neither wear nor shoot cotton bales. Southern farmers raised cattle, but Southern leather products in 1860 were worth $4 million as opposed to $59 million in the rest of the country. Southern farmers raised hemp, but the Confederacy suffered from a severe shortage of rope. There were some sheep in the upper South in 1860, but Southerners had invested $1.3 million in woolen mills compared to $35 million elsewhere in the United States. From the height of hindsight, then, we can see that the Southern agrarian economy in 1861 offered little to a blockaded Southern nation about to engage in protracted, total war. To grasp the economic revolution wrought by the Confederate experience we must constantly recall the military-industrial poverty of its origins.

We must emphasize also two other constants on the liability side of the Confederate balance sheet—the economic role of the Southern army and the rampant inflation which characterized Southern fiscal policy. Both of these factors are and were obvious, but so obvious as to be often overlooked.

Of the 9 million Confederates in 1861, approximately 1,280,000 were of military age, that is, white males between fifteen and fifty years old. Eventually the Confederacy mobilized approximately 850,000 men. With this army marched the Confederacy's hopes of nationhood. Yet an army is essentially a consumer; it produces only security and in the case of the Confederacy sometimes not much of that. The Southern army consumed food, clothing, ordnance, transportation, livestock forage, and more. And of course it consumed these things at a rate much higher than an equivalent number of civilians. Still in an economic context, every Southern consumer-soldier was one less badly needed producer. And this removal of producers from the Confederate economy hurt not only the South's incipient industrial efforts, but also her agriculture.

The other chronic crisis which plagued the Confederate economy involved the spiraling inflation of the currency. On this subject Charles W. Ramsdell has concluded, "If I were asked what was the greatest single weakness of the Confederacy, I should say, without much hesitation, that it was in this matter of finances. The resort to irredeemable paper money and to excessive issues of such currency was fatal, for it weakened not only the purchasing power of the government but also destroyed economic security among the people." The Confederate government, under the guidance of Secretary of the Treasury Christopher G. Memminger, tried to finance the war effort at one time or another by loans, bonds, taxation, and confiscation. When all else failed the Confederacy unleashed the printing presses, flooded the country with fiat currency, and then tried to stay the inflationary spiral by repudiating a portion of its own currency. The effect of the government's monetary policy on Confederate Southerners was incalculable. Wages never kept pace with prices, and salaried men knew genuine privation. Military reverses after 1862 further undermined what shaky faith was left in the currency. In desperation the Treasury Department issued currency "legal tender for all debts private," not public. A government which refused to accept its own money did not exactly inspire soaring confidence. Confederate fiscal policy was characterized by some realism, some blunders, and a pervading illusion that the war would soon be over. It is tempting to scoff at such chaos. But Ramsdell himself conceded, "If you then ask me how, under the conditions which existed in April, 1861, the Confederate government could have avoided this pitfall, I can only reply that I do not know."

Alongside the external problems posed by the length of the war and the federal blockade, the hard facts of Confederate economic life were: (I) the warring South inherited a staple-crop, agrarian economy; (2) inflationary currency was inevitable for a nation trying to carry on a war with only $27 million in "hard" money; and (3) to exist the South depended upon a large armed body of consumers. These liabilities, internal and external, conditioned the economic response to what became a war of attrition. Yet that response, when compared to the antebellum status quo, constituted nothing less than an economic revolution. In contrast to the economy of the Old South, the Confederate Southern economy was characterized by the decline of agriculture, the rise of industrialism, and the rise of urbanization.” - Emory M. Thomas, ‘The Confederacy as a Revolutionary Experience’ (1970) [p. 79 - 82]

Sweaty, crowded, and fighting to be in the front: it’s not a concert, it's a career fair.

Career fair is the most impactful and stressful concert of your life. Everyone is sweaty, you need a confirmation email to get in, and there’s a battle to get to the front. Your daydream of being selected to come on stage by your idol is veiled with a recruiter in a polo staring blankly at you while you panic, struggling to appear as the qualified person in the room.

You’re not alone; stage fright is not exclusive to being brought on stage by, say, Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, or whoever your favorite artist is. 

AttendingPlanning with your friends to go to a concert is similar to planning your time at a career fair. Going to a concert is a lot of work and preparation; coordinating attendees deliberating whether to Uber or carpool, if and when we’re eating, planning your outfit, and the endless insignificant yet crucial details that go into preparing to sing your heart out. Your outfit, how you’re getting there, who you’re seeing, and on and on. If you don’t like to be lost and frustrated at concerts, let me help you plan for career fairs so you make the most of your time.

Career fair starts before the day of the event.

The way you know an artist and the lyrics to their songs is the same way you should know a company and its products or servicesThat good song you heard live would’ve hit different if you knew the lyrics. Well, that elevator pitch with the recruiter would've been more effective if you knew who you were talking to.

Now, I’m not saying to go “Stan” mode and know every company’s background because that’s just extra, but it is in your best interest to know what industries recruit in the greater Houston area or other cities in Texas.

Houston is the Olympic village of manufacturing companies, so let’s start there. Your first big kid job may be in a large company, a body of government, or a small to medium agency. Houston has it all. By understanding who is going to be there, you have an upper hand over students who don’t have the slightest idea about industries like oil, steel, public policy, or anything of that sort. Of course, everyone’s fate is different, and that may not play out for you, but Houston is home to manufacturing headquarters as a port city with business-friendly taxes, and a diverse population. 

Now that we’ve established the organizations you could face at these career fairs, it is crucial to apply to any open positions you’re interested in and show why you’re the most qualified candidate. By presenting yourself to the recruiter as a well-informed candidate, you make their job easier and make yourself a more desirable candidate.

I know�� you’re thinking, “but..Isn’t that their job?” 

You would be surprised. 

Put yourself in a performing artist's shoes: thousands of people in an arena with bright lights over your head and semi-uncomfortable clothes doesn’t make it easy to spot someone in the crowd and say, “Hey, wanna come on stage?!” Recruiters are people just like you. We’ve all heard of stories like Chappel Roan wanting to be treated like a person instead of a god. In the professional world, it’s the same thing. Recruiting is also a 9-5 and they want to go home to their families after a good day of work. By approaching them and talking to them as people instead of the architect of your destiny, you’ve already met them at their level and created an easier channel of conversation with them. It’s basic psychology. That being said, how do you talk to a recruiter?

2. Your elevator pitch is like the unknown yet captivating opening act that you look up on Spotify later. Or in this case, Linkedin.

It’s the day of the concert. You chose to Uber with your friends, have your tickets ready, know where your seat is, but do you know the set list? Are you expecting songs you thought would be performed in full, only to be used as a transition song in between tracks? 

An elevator pitch is how you want to impress yourself onto your favorite artist. Please do not go up to the recruiter and bore them with “Hi my name is X, I’m majoring in X, graduating in X 20XX.” You’re better than that. 

Try going up to them by starting a fluid conversation that is personable and memorable. Find common ground with the recruiter and their company. Maybe you like their most recent product, their mission statement and impact in their industry, or share something personal with the recruiter, like having the same shirt, or bond over their interest for the industry. Charisma will surprisingly get you further than anything else, especially in communications. That’s, like, the whole thing. 

Once you break the ice about something other than the fact that you’re both obligated to be there, use the Valenti template and practice implementing it organically in your conversations with other people.

Use the Student Center South building or the RAD at lunch time to rehearse how you want to stand out in loud crowded spaces. Test out your handshake and eye contact abilities, and how to smile even when you’re not speaking (but don't look terrified, recruiters feel awkward. Imagine a child comes up to you asking how to solve fractions and looks like they’re about to snap at any second. Chill out!).

3. Establish a cadence of talking to recruiters so you don’t get worn out, despite the heat and overwhelming feeling.

Jumping, dancing, and singing wear you out at a concert. It’s the same thing at career fairs: walking around in dress shoes or heels, standing in line in said shoes, talking about yourself over and over, not being able to distinguish nervous sweats or plain old sweat from the stuffy temperature in the room.

To prevent looking aloof by the end of the career fair, outline a plan for yourself. For example, talk to 2-3 recruiters, step out for a bit, drink some water or have a snack, and come back refreshed. 

For some reason, no one ever talks about how exhausting career fairs can be. It’s a literal sport to be talking, walking and standing for that long!

To put your best self forward, look back at the list of employers you looked up. Which organizations do you want to speak to first? Is it a big name that will draw a crowd? Try to get there early or be prepared to stand in queue for a while. You don’t want to meet them five elevator pitches deep and come off as apathetic when you’re really just tired.

4. The show is over. What now?

There’s a chance you were given a ton of business cards and are somehow stuck with more resumes than you expected Big deal!? Do what we roast our grandparents for recommending: send the recruiters an email.

Recall the conversations you had with the recruiters, especially the ones where the conversation went well. Write them a memorable but professional email and don’t sound generic, please. For example, use an outline like the one below.

Hi ____,

It was great meeting you at the University of Houston’s Career Fair on [month, day, year]. I truly enjoyed our conversation about [recall conversation topics and details here]. When available, I would love to grab some coffee and continue our conversation. Thank you and I look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Best,

[Your Name]

5. Pat yourself on the back because you’re stronger than you think.

Jokes aside, a career fair can be very daunting and make you realize that you’re not the only one interested in that internship or job. It’s honestly a reality check when comparingeveryone else’s interactions,and juxtaposing how a recruiter treats you versus how they treat someone else.

Don’t worry too much about it, you’re only human.

The fact that you showed up is more than other students can say they’ve done. You’re kicking ass and taking names, and in case you have any doubts, go with your friends and support each other. College is hard enough, let’s make going to the most stressful concert of our lives exciting.
