Washington State Legislative Internship Program Info Sessions, May 1 and 2, 2018
Undergrad Students-
Are you interested in gaining hands-on experience with a working government? Do you want to build up your professional skills and develop contacts with people who shape policy in the State of Washington?
Interning with the Washington State Legislature during Winter 2019 is an excellent way to achieve these goals. This is open to all majors and doesn’t require a background in Political Science to be successful.
The Coordinators for the Washington State Legislative Internship Program will be on the Seattle campus on May 1st and 2nd. They will give eleven Information Sessions, all held in Gowen Hall, room 1A. Each session is half an hour long, starting at the following times:
Tuesday, May 1st, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, 2:30, 3:00, and 3:30
Wednesday, May 2nd, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 1:00, and 1:30
You can find information about the program on their website: http://leg.wa.gov/Internships/
You can also bring your questions for the Coordinators and to ask the interns from previous years. If you cannot make any of these sessions, you can also contact Mark Weitzenkamp in the Political Science Advising Office to talk about the program (weitzen@uw.edu).
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Mark

CSE undergraduates (only!) who plan on engaging in technical interviews in the near future should sign up here for the Mock Technical Interview events to be held in the CSE advising offices the evenings of Wednesday, January 31 and Tuesday, February 6, 2018. The 45 minute sessions begin at 6:00 pm, 6:45 pm, and 7:30 pm on both days.
At these events, technical interviewers from several of our industry affiliates will engage in abbreviated (30 minute) one-on-one mock technical interviews with students. The interviewers 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 Autumn 2019. The sign-up deadline is noon this Friday, January 26, so please submit your input quickly. Slots will be filled in order of expected graduation from the pool of students who sign up prior to the deadline.
Students should sign-up for as many interview slots on the linked form as they are available for on either day to have the best chance of securing an interview. Only one Winter Quarter interview (either on January 31 or on February 6) will be provided to each selected student.

Beginning Technical Interview Coaching Event
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.
