Career Planning for Financial Independence
Wednesday, February 19, 2:00-3:30pm, 68-181
Come learn about building your financial independence over the course of your career. Alan McMillan, Sloan Fellow ’91, will be presenting on critical life skills for emerging university talent. McMillan will:
•                    Demystify personal financial management
•                    Share a macro view for you to become aware of your financial situation and long term strategy
•                    Give pragmatic steps for your early career years
This is not a ‘how to invest your money’ seminar, rather McMillan will discuss long term planning over the course of your career and simple steps to make you financial freedom more certain.

Off the Record - 1:1 with a Silicon Valley Tech Recruiter
Wednesday, February 19, 4:00-5:00pm, 5-134
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. The event will be 45 minutes of interactive conversation and then open Q&A. T-shirts and other giveaways will be distributed. RSVP prior to the event for a chance to win a Kindle HDX: http://bit.ly/A9MIT
