CSE Undergrad News

Hi everyone,

A reminder that ACM will be putting on Mock Interviews tomorrow in GUG 220.  Come by to practice and get tips for the interview process.  You can see the event on ACM’s Facebook page here.

If you’re a seasoned interview veteran and would like to help out with giving the interviews, please email Derek Coley (dmcoley@cs.washington.edu).  We really need a lot of volunteers so your help is greatly appreciated.

See you all there,

John

More info:

• Resume review: 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.
• Interview Coaching: 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

As usual, you can check out the undergraduate calendar here for more information.

Hi all!

I’m your new Internal Relations officer for ACM this year.  Although I have a lot to live up to after Pooja, I’m going to do all I can to supply you with a consistent stream of department news and cat gifs.

To start with, Disney will be in the atrium tomorrow from 12:00-1:30 serving some sort of treats.  Stop by to say hey and get some snacks.
