Career Center Workshop
Networking for Nerds
2:30 pm - 3:30 pm, Room 518
It’s elementary—networking is an absolute necessity in any career, and
especially in science and engineering, and math. In fact, networking is not
only critical to advancing your own career, but also to advancing scholar-
ship itself. But what exactly is “networking”? It’s more than just saying
hello at a conference! Learn how to appropriately promote yourself and
build a network. Discover how to “work a room,” start conversations
with people you have never met before, and obtain information that
can set you on a path to career victory. The importance and use of social
networks will be emphasized.

press.

Ten Tough Industrial Interview Questions
(and Ten Pretty Good Responses)
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Room 518
You’ve been invited to interview with that drug development company
that you’ve always wanted to work for. You’ve soaked up the details of
the position description. You are confident in your ability to do the job, as
well as answer any/all technical questions during the interview process.
The day is yours…until…that first question catches you by surprise and
your confidence begins to wilt. Be prepared for those non-technical ques-
tions that you will almost certainly hear at some point, know why they
are asked, and learn what a good (if not great) response to each question
might be by attending this workshop.
