TLDR: New Grad 2020 & Summer 2020 Internship job postings are going up. It’s time for Juniors and Seniors to start applying online!
Yo Allen School Fam!
It’s your friendly, neighborhood career counselor, Kim Nguyen, checking in! For those of you that are new to the department or aren’t familiar with my background, check out my LinkedIn (http://bit.ly/kimLinkedIn). Mostly, it serves as an explanation as to why you should consider listening to things I have to say 😀
It’s time to kick off the Fall 2019 recruiting season! That’s right, y’all. Application postings for summer 2020 internships and 2020 new grad fulltime positions are starting to go LIVE on many of your favorite company websites. I know- it’s STILL summer. How is this happening already? Well, turns out being on the quarter system has some disadvantages, one of them being that semester schools set the pace for the university/college recruiting cycle since they start first. Recruiters are typically given a specific # of interns and fulltime candidates to recruit for and they’ll be going hard over the next few months to fulfill their hiring goals. Internship positions typically fill up by the end of fall quarter, so it’s GO TIME!
For Juniors (graduating in Spring 2021) and Seniors (graduating before Spring 2020), it’s time to brush up your resumes and apply online. You should aim to have your applications in by mid-September (but the earlier the better). For those of you that are freshmen, sophomores, or haven’t taken CSE 332 (data structures) yet- please DO NOT panic. Y’all have another blog post coming your way that will help set expectations for what your recruiting experience might be like.
Stay Tuned!
Kim
PS. I’m going to start making more frequent blog posts on career-related topics. If you have a question or topic you’d like me to cover, hit me with your requests here: http://bit.ly/kimcsama. Next week, you can expect a resume kick-start guide.
