Industry Panel

The Department of Computer Science invites all Computer Science
Majors to the first event in its new Career Preparation Series. On
Tuesday, February 2, 2010, 3-4:20 p.m. in room 110 Purdy-Kresge
Library, we will hold an industry panel, consisting of
representatives from Ford, Chrysler, Unisys, Thomson Reuters, and
Wayne State, who will talk about dos and don'ts of proper student
technical resume writing. While computer science jobs have been
topping all kinds of best jobs lists over the years, in the highly
competitive job market of today, it is important to understand what
makes a student resume stand out among others. In fact, a resume is a
kind of a personal marketing tool and it is not enough to google
"technical resume" to get a real feel for what would impress a
potential employer in the field of computing. All interested students
need to RSVP to this event by Sunday, Jan. 31, by e-mailing Diane
Grimord.

Students who wish to have their resumes reviewed by the panel need to
understand that the review will be public and that all personal
information has to be removed from a resume before it is submitted by
a student. Students interested in such a review need to send their
resumes by Wednesday, January 27 to Monika Witoslawski.

Hope to see you there!
