by Raksha Muthukumar 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

Hey ladies, We'll be in CCB 345 tomorrow at 6:30 for a coffee chat with 3 alums from CareerBuilder. CB is a pretty large local company that's always hiring interns. But also the folks who'll be visiting are cool, and can speak to life after Tech. See you there, Raksha. PS. Stay tuned for updates about exec for next year! If you've even *considered* running for W@CC exec, but have some reservations, feel free to shoot Jess, Honey, or myself a message.
