Expedia Campus Recruiting

The Employer Panel is first CSE recruiting prep event of the year! The purpose is to inform you about the recruiting process from the employers’ perspective.

• When: Wednesday Oct. 7, 5:45-6:45 pm
• Where: EE 125
• RSVP: https://catalysttools.washington.edu/webq/survey/cseadv/85023

The panel consists of four industry representatives: one recent grad/engineer, one HR representative from a large company, one HR rep from a small company, and one hiring manager.

This year’s panelists:

• Hiring Manager: Tam Armstrong, Sony Media
• Recent CSE Grad: Brian Ma, Eggsprout
• Large Co. HR: Ben Mercer, Microsoft
• Small Co. HR: Joni Kimzey, Tableau Software

Moderator: Dave Rispoli, CSE Professional Master’s Program Advisor

Brian Ma will discuss his own job search after graduating from CSE. Tam Armstrong, another CSE alum, will discuss what his company looks for in employees.  Ben Mercer and Joni Kimzey will discuss how recruiting works within their large and small companies.

The panel is meant to be general — the represented companies may certainly provide some level of self-promotion, their focus will be on providing a peek inside the recruiting process so the students will know how to best prepare. We encourage you to attend even if you’re not considering employment at these specific companies!

Our moderator, Dave Rispoli, is the PMP adviser. He’ll be helping out with other ugrad career events.

Hi everyone,

TalentSpring will be hosting a tech talk tonight in the Atrium from 5:30 – 7:30.

This will be one of the last employers to come speak to us for the school year, so please take advantage of this great opportunity to get that summer internship you’ve been looking for.

See you there!

Your Friendly ACM Officers

The Ames Robotics Academy (RoboAcad) is a paid summer internship program
at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, for undergraduate and
graduate students interested in robotics. I participated last year, and
had a great time working on many practical projects including a LINUX
based robot controller for a lunar rover prototype. This is definitely a
educational internship with real projects, not a go get coffee for the
boss sort of thing. While the relativity simple application should be
submitted as soon as possible the final deadline is May 1, 2009. If you
are interested please visit the website:

Thanks for your time,
