Hello LUGers!

Next Tuesday (September 20th) we have a resume workshop! The workshop is being run by Ross Grady and Jeff Jagoda who run the IBM Extreme Blue program in RTP, who both see thousands of resumes and conduct hundreds of interviews every year. Here's a short blurb about the event from them:

"""

Your resume is the first thing most recruiters and hiring managers will see about you -- here's your chance to make sure it's not the last thing. Learn the three most important things to have on your resume, as well as a few that are less important than you might think.

As staff members at Extreme Blue, IBM's top-level biz/tech innovation internship, Ross Grady & Jeff Jagoda conduct hundreds of interviews -- and look at thousands of resumes -- every year. They'll walk you through what they and other technical recruiters look for in a resume, and explain why they're so important. They'll even critique your resume, so be sure to bring a copy.

"""

I highly recommend you show up and bring some friends. I hope to see you there!
