Cisco Trip: A Success!

Posted by: ms64956 on 04/26/2008 03:48 PM (Read: 63)
We visited Cisco in Charlotte, NC on Friday, April 25, 2008!

We made many great contacts with Cisco and their partners! We were offered many tips on our education, resumes, and job interviews. Their hiring and training processes were explained. We were informed of internships! We were given the opportunity to submit our resumes and to ask questions! We were also introduced to many of Cisco's new technologies and projects. We even attended a meeting using TelePresence (check it out, it's really cool)!

Our visit to Cisco was a wonderful opportunity to learn about and make contacts in the IT and IS fields outside of the classroom!

Our next and final meeting will be Wed, April 23rd at 5pm in Raley 1020.

We'll be holding elections for each officer position (President, VP, Treasurer, Secretary). Elections will begin at 5pm.

Following elections, we'll award jump drives to those with at least 15 points and additional prizes to those in the top 10!

Lastly, our resume workshop scheduled for last week was canceled. Therefore, Dr. Knight will be conducting a resume workshop at this meeting. A few things he'll be covering include:
• Visual communication rules (page design)
• Human physiological aspects (how will the reader 'see' the page?)
• Making a resume ‘fit’ the position being sought.

We're holding only the one meeting at 5pm this week.
