Subject: [cs-ugrads] Two talks by Jon Kleinberg
To: cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu

This Saturday we are going to have an Open House in the building for middle school and high school students. There will be over 500 students milling about from 1-5pm.

Let’s show these folks how much we respect our environment and make sure the labs are spotless.

There is a recommendation that 4pm on Thursday everyone who can, stop by to help make sure they are tidy.  We appreciate your time. Let’s keep up the good work your comrades started and keep your space looking nice. Remember, if everyone picked up at least one or two things a day, we’d keep the inside and outside of our campus looking nice.

PS: Note LAB 002 will be in use from 12-5pm

PPS: We are still in desperate need of volunteers for Saturday, email Allison Obourn <aeobourn@cs.washington.edu> if you have time to spare please, it will be fun! No experience needed.

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 Wednesday, October 29.  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, however slots are limited.  Interview slots will be offered on a seniority basis, with those who will earn their degree before autumn 2015 given first preference followed by those who will earn their degree before Autumn 2016 followed by all others.  Please note that the seniority you input will be spot checked for accuracy.  Those who misrepresent their seniority will be placed in the back of the queue and most likely denied interviews.

Registration is now open.  RSVP  here!

Registration will remain open through 10:00 am next Monday, October 27.  Students will be informed of their interview time and (hopefully) interviewing company via email by the end of the day Monday.  I will inform all students who were not able to get interviews via email on Monday 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 extremely limited.  Slots will be assigned in order of sign up.

We will present additional technical interviews in Winter quarter so if you don’t get one of these spots don’t despair.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

CSE Undergraduates (only!):

CSE undergrads who will be interviewing for a full-time or internship position over the next year and would benefit from a preview of thetechnical interview questions they will face (this should include almost all CSE ugrads!) should attend the CSE Technical Interview Coaching Event next Wednesday, October 15 in the 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 29 Mock Technical Interviews will feature an interview format.  Sign-ups for the October 29 Mock Technical Interviews will begin the middle of next week after the Technical Interview Coaching Event, so watch for my email then.

RSVP’s for next Wednesday’s Technical Interview Coaching Event are required and easy to make.  Just use the rsvp link below to choose between sessions starting at 3:30 or 4:30 pm.  Sessions last one hour total and are comprised of three 15-20 minute coaching sessions for each student attendee.

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, 13 at 12:00pm (noon), so don’t delay.  I will let you know by end of day on Monday of your time of your Wednesday appointment or if you were not able to secure a slot.

Please contact me if you need any additional information on this event.
