CSE Undergraduates (only!),

All CSE majors who will be looking for a full-time job or internship this year should consider participating in our CSE Mock Technical Interview Event the evening of Tuesday, October 27.  Several outstanding companies will be participating to run CSE students through a single half-hour simulated technical interview.  The sessions will place students one-on-one with a hiring manager or engineer who regularly conducts technical interviews.  Interview questions will include puzzles, logic, data structures, coding and more with a ten minute feedback session following.  Mock interviews will take place in the CSE building.

Registration is open now for all CSE students.  RSVP  here!

Registration will remain open through 12:00 pm Friday, October 23.  Students will be informed of their interview time and (hopefully) interviewing company via email by the end of the day Friday.  I will inform all students who were not able to get interviews via email on Friday as well.

Students can choose one of three offered interview times from the linked sign-up form: 6:00-6:45 pm, 6:45-7:30 pm or 7:30-8:15 pm.  Space is limited.  Slots will be assigned in order of sign up.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

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.

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.
