UO CIS 407/507 - Sem Career/Internships!

Welcome. This year, we'll be looking at some great ways to explore getting the best internships available.  These techniques are intended to help you polish your resumé, make connections and get an interview.

Throughout the term we will be hearing from industry speakers, who will give us details about their experiences in finding and keeping jobs in the world of technology.

We will use our first class as a jumping off point: getting to know each other, discussing our preferences for work situations, learning more about social networking and personal PR.
