_______________________________________________

CSE undergraduates (only!) who plan on engaging in technical interviews over the next few months should sign up here for the Mock Technical Interview event to be held in the CSE advising offices the evening of Monday, October 30, 2017.

At this event, technical interviewers from several of our industry affiliates will engage in abbreviated (30 minute) one-on-one mock technical interviews with students. The coaches will provide feedback to the students during and after the interviews.  All students should plan on bringing a copy of their resume to the interviews.

This event has extremely limited space. It is geared first and foremost toward CSE students who plan to earn their degree before Summer 2018, and secondly toward CSE students who plan to earn their degree before Autumn 2019.  The sign-up deadline is midnight (11:59:59 pm) on Wednesday, October 25.  Slots will be filled in order of expected graduation from the pool of students who sign up prior to the deadline.

Selected students will be given one interview and should choose from one, two or three of the session times listed on the linked form.  The 45 minute sessions begin at 6 pm, 6:45 pm, and 7:30 pm.

CSE undergraduates (only!) who have little or no technical interview experience can now sign up here for the Beginning Technical Interview Coaching event to be held in the Atrium on Tuesday, October 31.

At this event, technical interviewers from several of our industry affiliates will meet with groups of 2- 5 students. The interviewers will describe their technical interview processes, give a few sample questions and coach 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.

This event is especially geared towards new CSE students who have little or no technical interview experience. The goal is to provide a good idea of what students will face in a technical interview and what kind of preparation is necessary to do well in one.

Students should choose one of the two hour-long sessions from the linked form. One session begins at 3 pm and the other at 4 pm.  Students will be selected in order of sign up.  Please try to sign up by end of day Thursday, October 26.

There is some confusion regarding the career fairs, so here’s some additional information:

Monday, Oct 23rd: 1-5pm Data Science Career Fair.  1-2 is for data science option majors, 2-5 is for all others on space available basis. You are encouraged to register for this one, details are online.

There are 3 recruiting days coming up in one week. PLEASE plan to
attend all 3, and PLEASE get your resume into the resume book.

Full information is here:
https://www.cs.washington.edu/industrial_affiliates/meetings/2017/studentinfo

The short version of the story:

– Most of our Industry Affiliate members care much more about the
ability to recruit our students than about the research we’re doing.

– Yes, jobs are plentiful right now. But it hasn’t always been that
way, and it won’t always be that way. Turning out and showing our
Industry Affiliates what great students we have is a favor to future
generations – the companies will keep coming even when positions are
tight.

– The CSE Atrium has become too small for our recruiting fairs; 2 of
the 3 will be in the HUB Ballroom this year.

– Data Science fair: Monday October 23, 1-5, HUB Ballroom.
(Campus-wide, but organized by CSE on behalf of the eScience
Institute.)

– Established Company fair: Tuesday October 24, 11-4, HUB Ballroom.
This is for CSE students only.

– Startup Company fair: Wednesday Octobrer 25, 1-5, CSE Atrium. This
is for CSE students only.

PLEASE get your resume in the resume book.

PLEASE get your Allen School nametag prior to the events.

PLEASE attend all 3 fairs – make us look good!

CSE undergraduates (only!) who already have some technical interview experience can now sign up at https://goo.gl/forms/rZKkcIftlfTblH2Y2 for the Intermediate Technical Interview Coaching event to be held in the Atrium next Wednesday, October 18.

At this event, technical interviewers from several of our industry affiliates will meet with groups of 2-4 students at a time. The interviewers will describe their technical interview processes, give you a few sample questions and coach you 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 be able to meet with interviewers from multiple companies in several short sessions which will total one hour in length. Sessions will start at 3 pm and 4 pm, so students should choose just one of those two times on the sign up link.

Space is limited, so students should sign up as soon as possible this week.

Again, this event is especially geared toward CSE students who already have some technical interview experience. The goal is to give you a good idea of what you will face in a technical interview and what kind of preparation is necessary to do well in one.  If you are new to technical interviews, we will offer a separate session on October 31st (RSVP to come later).
