2009 EECS–MIME INDUSTRY RECEPTION:

DON’T DELAY, REGISTER TODAY!

 

Register NOW for the 2009 EECS & MIME Industry Reception scheduled for Wednesday, February 18 (the evening before the Engineering Career Fair), 5:30–7:45 pm in the Kelley Engineering Center. This free annual event is open to MIME students, freshmen through grad. The event features an hors d’oeuvres reception in the KEC Atrium followed by two break-out sessions where you’ll meet with selected companies in smaller groups. It is designed to help you meet and network with a variety of industry representatives in a low-key setting. Some organizations are hiring for internships and full-time positions, others just want you to be better acquainted with their company. Even if you’re not looking for work right now, it’s very important to get out there and start forming relationships with the people who might one day help you find an internship or job.

 

For more information, click here. To register for the Industry Reception, click here. (Registration closes this Friday, Feb. 13th)

 

Note: When you register, you’ll be asked to specify 2–3 companies you’d like to meet with. Before you do so, check the Participating Companies listing to find out which ones are interested in your major. And for the best selection of company break-out sessions, be sure to sign up early! Also, regardless of whether you are attending the reception, you are invited to upload a copy of your resume for inclusion in a resume book for our INSPiRE member companies (Garmin, GE, Intel, and Tektronix). To upload your resume, click here. And don’t forget to bring a handful of resumes to the Industry Reception as well!
