Tuesday Agenda

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

It’s a cool morning, but it’s supposed to warm up a bit in the afternoon for our bursting-at-the-seams CDW schedule.

UW Tacoma has four events today including the intriguingly titled The State of Technology: Where Are You Going? Over at Bothell, there’s plenty going on with eight different events. Polish that resume with Resumes the UW Way or hear from Arts & Sciences alumni.

At Seattle, it’s our biggest day with a whopping 27 ways to discover your future. Amongst the many options there’s a nice double feature at Gould Hall. From 2-3 p.m., check out International Experience as Career Exploration. Then stick around for the Study Abroad Fair from 3-4 p.m. If you’re an undergrad still wondering what to study (let alone what career you want!), check out Is There a Right Major For Me?

Later in the day, learn about some pretty varied fields with Careers in Sports, Careers in Biotechnology or Careers in Built Environments.

And these are just the tip of the iceberg–check out everything going down today.

Now You Can Plan Your January

Monday, December 8th, 2008

A wise person once said the key to success is knowing where to go and when to be there. Same goes to planning your life in January with Career Discovery Week. Good news–we’ve launched the 2009 Event Guide. You’ll see the date, time and location for all our events!

Be gentle when kicking the tires, we’re still adding lots more info including descriptions and list of panelists who will be there imparting wisdom. All that coming soon so keep checking.

We wanted to get you time and dates now so you can start blocking off your calendar. You wondering what to do on Thursday, Jan. 29? I know I am. Here’s one plan:

- Morning: Get up (or sleep in while you still can), go to class. Maybe take a nap in the library. Do some research. Hit the IMA. Take another nap.

- Lunch: Pagliacci at the HUB? Maybe some pho or thai food on the Ave? This time can be used for napping as well.

- 1:30 p.m. - Wake up, it’s time for your first CDW event of the day! Check out Careers in Health Care Management. People are getting older, you know there will be plenty of health care jobs, no matter the state of the economy. And the thought of using a scalpel makes you a little queasy.

- 3:30 p.m. - How about teaching? Maybe you want to help mold future generations. Or maybe you just like playing with glue sticks. Either way, Teaching the Three Rs: Becoming an Elementary School Teacher sounds about your style.

- 5 p.m. - Just the thought of dressing up, grabbing the resume and going to an interview makes you angsty. Well, find out how to ace ‘em at Employer Panel: Successful Interviews. Remember, if they ask if you want something to drink, don’t ask for coffee. Especially if you’re clumsy. And wearing your only nice shirt.

- 6:30 p.m. - Speaking of dressing up, do you picture yourself jetting from London to Mumbai in a fancy suit? End your day  with Careers in International Business.

And those are just some of the CDW events in Seattle. Check out Bothell and Tacoma as well!

CDW is here! In Seattle at least. Tacoma evening events cancelled for Monday.

Monday, January 28th, 2008

It’s Monday, January 28, and Career Discovery Week has begun! If you were like us, you enjoyed how the snow made everything look nice then suffered through an extra-long bus ride. But the show must go on and Monday events at UW Seattle are going on as scheduled. So join us at some of the 14 events today in Seattle, ranging from information on international careers to getting a job in the world of sports.

We’re no better at predicting the weather than those people on TV, so please check this site — we’ll update with any changes or cancellations as the day goes on.

UW Tacoma
Since the Tacoma campus is planning to suspend operations at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, the two evening events are cancelled. At this time, all Tuesday events will go on as scheduled, but please check the CDW for the latest updates.

UW Bothell
The Bothell campus has suspended operations for Monday. The good news is that there are no CDW events scheduled there for Monday. As with Tacoma, all Tuesday events at Bothell will go on as scheduled. But keep an eye out here - we’ll update the CDW site if anything changes.
