Greetings Allen School Huskies!

We are so excited to welcome you back for Winter Quarter 2019! We hope you enjoyed a lot of rest and found some time to have a little fun during the break. Your Career Services team has been busy putting together some fantastic programming to get you ready for a successful quarter of job hunting and networking. We’re penning this blog post to draw your attention to career events happening in the next two weeks and to announce an important change to our Established Company Fair.

If you’ve had a chance to check out our Winter 2019 Student Info Page, you’ll notice that our Industry Affiliates Recruiting Fairs are right around the corner! The Established Company Fair is happening on Monday, January 14th from 11 AM – 5 PM @ the HUB Ballroom and The Startup and Smaller Company Fair is happening the next day on Tuesday, January 15th from 1 PM – 4:30 PM in the Atrium of CSE1.

We are happy to announce an important update to the Established Company Fair. In addition to serving the Allen school population, we are delighted to partner with departments across UW Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma to open up the Established Company Fair from 3 PM – 5 PM to students studying majors that are related to computer science.

The Allen School believes firmly in ensuring equitable access to opportunities. As our department becomes more competitive, our extraordinary bounty of employment opportunities becomes seemingly more exclusive. It is our duty to the UW community to share the plethora of opportunities when it makes sense. The job market is currently such that there are more software jobs available than there are computer science graduates. There are many ways to pick up the necessary programming skills needed for the software industry and we want to be supportive of our fellow Huskies that are pursuing this career field.

We understand that there may be concerns about crowding. To mitigate this, backpacks will not be allowed inside the career fairs. We will be hosting a backpack check for Allen School students at the Gates Common (6th floor) in CSE1. In addition, we will be making changes to the layout of our space to give more breathing room between companies and expand the amount of space available from the autumn career fair. As always, we recommend you arrive as early as possible for the most pleasant (and least claustrophobic) experience.

To help you shine your brightest, we are hosting a variety of career preparation events and talks throughout the month of January for Allen School students. You can find the most up-to-date information on the Undergrad Advising Calendar. We know it may feel like the recruiting fairs are coming up SOON, so we want to especially highlight the events we are hosting during the first week of the quarter.
