<p class="MsoNormal">Join us for an off-the-record conversation
with a Silicon Valley Tech Recruiter. Sometimes students are at
a disadvantage by not understanding the campus recruitment
process from an employer's perspective. The talk will be geared
towards explaining how recruitment across the tech industry
works, while revealing common misconceptions that students have
about the hiring process. The goal is for students to walk away
from the talk with immediate action items that they can apply to
their own job search now or in the future.<o:p></o:p></p>

MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni.
