Join us on Feb. 22 and Network with Industry!

Student Registration: Feb. 1-15th

Registration Instructions

.    Visit Student Registration. If a company you are hoping to connect with does not appear in the drop down menu, it means that company's break-out sessions have already been filled. Please choose a different break-out session.

.   Upload your resume. Your file will be only be shared with organizations like Cypress, ESI, EMC, Google, Garmin, Google, HP, McAfee, PacifiCorp, Portland General, Veeva Systems, etc.

Any EECS or MIME student can submit a resume, even those who are unable to attend the  event.

Before the Event

.     Research the companies beforehand and come prepared to ask questions. (See "About the Companies" and visit their websites.) This event is a great opportunity to network with members of industry and find out more about their companies and what's it like to work there.

.     Go to Career Services. They can help sharpen your resume, improve your interviewing skills and even give you wardrobe tips.

.     Update your LinkedIn profile.  Having an on-line profile is just as important as having a hard copy of your resume. (You should have both.)

What to Expect @ the Event

.     Come dressed in business casual attire.

.     Arrive at 5:30 pm in the KEC Atrium, (stop by a few minutes early if you can) to pick up your name tag.

.     Your company meeting assignments will be on the back of your name tag. If an assignment is with a different company from the one you signed up for, make the best of things and use this as an opportunity to broaden your horizons.

.     Make extra connections. Keep in mind, there will also be an opportunity to connect with the companies during the general reception at 5:30. You can also stop by the company's meeting room after the event ends and see if they have time to talk to you then.

.     Some companies will ask if you’ve submitted a resume to their company website, others may ask for an actual hard copy. Do both. Plus bring a few hard copy resumes just in case.

.     Ask for advice. Ask industry reps for feedback on your resume, interview tips, how to get hired at their company, or any other career-development input they might have.

.     Do NOT leave early. The organizations attending this event are expecting to see you. (Make prior arrangements with the reception coordinators if there are extenuating circumstances.)
