Hey CSE students, the career fair is coming up fast, and we have two more events to get you prepared:

Resume Review Workshop

Tuesday, October 13 from 3:00 – 5:00pm in the CSE Atrium.

This workshop is designed to allow you to gather tips from the experts to turn your resume drafts into documents that will help land your dream job or internship.

All you need to attend is a few copies of your resume–anything from a rough draft to almost-finished product is fine.  Show up anytime between 3 and 5 pm (plan on 20 minutes per review) to share your resume with 1 or more HR or technical interview experts from several of our affiliate companies, both large and small.  These experts will provide resume advice to get your resume in great shape for the Fall recruiting fair on October 19 and 21.

Technical Interview Coaching

Thursday, October 15 from 3:00 – 5:00pm in the CSE Atrium.

At this event technical interviewers from several of our industry affiliates will meet with groups of 2-4 students.  The interviewers will describe their technical interview process, give students a few sample questions and coach students on what they look for in answers.  The sessions will include sample programming questions, logic questions and puzzles. Our experts will also provide examples of what they ask in actual technical interviews and how to successfully answer to land the job.

Students will have three individual sessions of 15 minutes each with three different company volunteers (our choice, at least one, and probably two of the reps you meet with will be from a major local company).

The sessions will be for general insight and will not be in the form of interviews, although sample questions will be posed for demonstration purposes.  The upcoming October 28 Mock Technical Interviews will feature an interview format.

Space is limited –  RSVP now!  Selections will be made based on CSE seniority AND on a first come-first served basis.  The RSVP deadline for this event is Monday, October, 12.  I will let you know by end of day on Tuesday of your time of your Thursday appointment or if you were not able to secure a slot.

Please contact Jenifer (jpesicka@cs.uw.edu) if you need any additional information on this event.

 
Future Recruiting Events (all this month):

Calendar Link: https://www.cs.washington.edu/students/ugrad/advising_calendar

Industrial Affiliates Fall Recruiting Fair:  Monday, Oct. 19; (startups); Wednesday, Oct. 21; (established companies); CSE Building

All CSE undergraduates who are considering pursuing an internship or full-time employment in 2015-16 (and this should be you!) should not miss our CSE Department sponsored Industry Panel next Monday.

This event will feature a panel of CSE graduates and HR reps who will provide important information on the steps CSE undergraduates need to take in the coming months to land the internship or job of their dreams.  Student questions are very much encouraged.  You should leave this event with a much better understanding of the timing and direction of your upcoming job search.

Hey folks,

Apologies for the copious email you’ve been receiving, there is a lot of information we need to get out to you in the first week. We’ve been hearing that a lot of companies are beginning to pressure students to respond to full time offers offered to previous interns way before the approved deadline (November 30th).  We ask you all to familiarize yourself with both the Company Recruiting Policy and the Student Policy:

Company Recruiting Policy: https://www.cs.washington.edu/industrial_affiliates/recruiting_policy

Student Policy: https://www.cs.washington.edu/students/ugrad/recruiting#policy

You should politely ask any CSE Affiliate company if they are aware of the policy listed above and if they are willing to abide by it.  If they say no, we highly recommend you notify Kay Beck-Benton (kbeck@cs) with a CC to ugrad-advisor@cs list so we can follow up directly with the companies involved. The more details you provide us the better.

Subject: Advertising REU position?
To: “ugrad-advisors@cs.washington.edu” <ugrad-advisors@cs.washington.edu> Cc: Matthew Kay <mjskay@cs.washington.edu>

Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Position Available
Designing and Implementing a Novel Weight Scale Interface

We are seeking to hire an undergraduate student this summer to help implement a research prototype. We are working on designing and evaluating a weight scale that can track factors influencing your weight and tell you how much various things (clothing, time of day, etc) influence the weight you see when you step on the scale. We are looking for someone to help us implement the front end to this scale.

The student should ideally have development experience in Python, Java, or similar. Tasks will involve authenticating users, reading weight data over a serial port, piping that data through an existing model for each user, and displaying that data in a user interface. Some of the skills for implementing the system can be learned “on-the-job.”

Dates of Employment: Looking to start as soon as possible, but can be flexible. End date will be by the end of August, 2015.

Employment Type: Hourly employment up to 20 hours per week. Timing is flexible. Hourly pay rate starts at $15 per hour depending on year and school and level of experience.

To Apply: Please send your resume and a brief statement of your interest in the position to mjskay@cs.washington.edu

REMINDER: Voyager office hours today – 1-3 pm, on the 2^nd floor landing!

This is an opportunity to talk with a rep from a local venture capital firm about entrepreneurship or your startup idea, or just to make a connection. Please stop by whether you already have a brilliant start-up idea, or are just curious about entrepreneurship and want to ask basic question!

Voyager Capital is the leading seed and first round technology venture firm in the Pacific Northwest managing $400 million in institutional capital in four funds. With offices in Menlo Park, Portland and Seattle, Voyager’s investment partners begin working with entrepreneurs at the earliest of stages, as their first institutional investor and board member. We strongly prefer to work with co-founding CEO’s who can scale all the way through an exit, whether that be IPO or M&A. Our past 70 investments range from cloud and core technology, to digital media and enterprise SaaS.  We initially invest as little as $500k and over time continue to support our largest and most successful investments with as much as $5-7 million of equity capital. Several of the startups we led first round investments for are now at scale and readying for IPOs including Act-On Software (marketing SaaS), ChargePoint (EV charging network software) and Elemental Technologies (software-defined video processing). Our most recent investments include Ayla Networks (IoT platform), Lytics.io (big data), SkyWard.io (aerial robotics software), and Wise.io (machine learning). Over the lifecycle of an investment, Voyager partners with some of the most respected VC’s in Boston and Silicon Valley such as General Catalyst Partners, North Bridge Venture Partners, Norwest Venture Partners and Technology Crossover Ventures.

Have you ever wanted to launch your own startup? 3 Day Startup (3DS) is your chance to do just that.

3DS will be coming to UW on the weekend of June 26th. The goal of this entrepreneurship intensive is to help students found companies in three days.

3 Day Startup has operated over 130 programs on 5 continents. 3DS participants have launched scores of companies, which have raised a collective $49 million in investment and been accepted to prestigious accelerators.

Over 3 days, UW students brainstorm ideas, write code, conduct market validation, devise business models, build prototypes, and pitch to investors and successful entrepreneurs. The result is an experience that challenges participants to actually innovate, build and launch companies.

And we feed you. And it’s free. And we take zero equity.
