Hiya Huskies!
We’re excited to offer you 2 different career seminars in Autumn 2019. The first is for those that want to learn more about how to be successful in their career after graduation and is aimed at seniors. The second is for those that want to learn skills for job hunting and job interviewing (pre/co-req: CSE 332). Read on to learn more!
CSE 492 P1: Patterns for Career Success
Taught By: Philip Su, CEO of Audere
Tuesdays 4:30 – 5:20
As with the science of computing, careers in computing also have models, patterns, and anti-patterns. This interactive seminar, led by a 20-year industry veteran from Facebook and Microsoft who now leads a Seattle tech nonprofit funded by the Gates Foundation, covers insights across a gamut of topics that will accelerate your career.
This pass/fail seminar will include around 15 mins of weekly assignments, and is intended primarily for seniors. The same instructor led this highly-rated seminar in Spring 2018 with a slightly longer format.
Join us to learn tips for growing quickly toward your goals while avoiding common pitfalls.
CSE 492 J: Landing a Job in the Software Industry
Taught By: Kim Nguyen, Allen School Career Counselor and Katherine Wang, Interviewing Extraordinaire
Tuesdays 12:30 – 1:20
This seminar is targeted at students who have already completed 332 (or are taking it during Autumn 2019) and need help building their confidence for pursuing software engineering jobs (internship and full-time). Kim and Kat will take you through the recruiting process end-to-end: resumes, applying, career fairs, interacting with recruiters, INTERVIEWING, negotiating, etc. The bulk of the course will be focused on software engineering interview techniques.
This pass/fail seminar will include an optional weekly workshop on Thursdays @ 12:30 PM.
Note that this seminar is not a good fit for anyone who has already had multiple internships or has had multiple successful experiences interviewing for software opportunities. There will be no exceptions for students that do not meet the CSE 332 pre/co-req.
If you have any questions about either course, please reach out to Kim Nguyen: kim@cs.washington.edu
