Nominate your favorite pre-UW teacher for recognition!

Hello, CSE students. Every two years, CSE hosts an Inspirational Teachers Dinner to honor your most influential teachers from high school and community colleges. Please help us identify these great instructors by nominating a former teacher here:
https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/cseadv/21918

We’ll contact all nominated teachers to share your appreciation — so please nominate your far-flung favorites as well as locals. Teachers who live within two hours driving distance from Seattle will also be invited to our spring Inspirational Teachers Dinner. If your nominee attends the dinner, you are also welcome to join us for the dinner.

We also ask for nominees on the CSE New Student Survey. If you remember nominating when you declared CSE, there’s no need to re-nominate them.

Negotiation Workshop and Resume Review next week!

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

Negotiation Workshop

Monday, January 11 from 5:30– 6:30pm in EE 125.

Early salary negotiations play a huge role in maximizing your lifetime earning potential. But salary negotiation is also a real challenge – especially early on in your career. Aubrey Bach, Senior Marketing and Editorial Manager at PayScale.com, is here to help you understand why, when, and what to do to understand your real market value and make sure you are earning it in any job. Join us for a little inspiration, a lot of strategy, and a ton of data to help you make sure you are earning your worth throughout your career.

Resume Review

Thursday, January 14 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.
