Career Talk @ UWB

CSS and UWB Career Services are co-hosting the CSS Alumni Panel on Wednesday, January 25th from 5:00-6:30 in UW1 103.

The panelist will answer a set of questions about careers, and take questions from students. Themes for the questions will cover topics such as interviewing, job hunting, and personal experience in the job market.
This is a great opportunity to network with CSS alumni so bring your resumes to talk about jobs. I understand at least on company is looking for job candidates.
Drop by before or after class for a little while or for the entire panel.
The UWB Career Center will be providing food.
