Next week on Thursday, September 20th, there’s a career fair held on the campus. YES, THURSDAY between 10:00AM to 3:00PM!! on which I have classes from 11:30AM to 4:30PM. *sigh*
Well what’s the problem? I just don’t feel like wearing suit all day: I can only assume the dress code might have to be somewhat formal to impress reps. from various companies. I don’t have any issues against wearing suits. It’s just that I’d have to go straight to classes after attending the fair in suits!
I probably will go anyway to gather some more information about how other companies treat QA/SV&V positions. I’ll have to prepare a list of questions though.
School has prepared some pages with useful information:

Also, notable companies (with grad recruitment) attending fair:
- EMC- http://www.emc.com/hr/students_grads.jsp?openfolder=all?alias=/college
- Microsoft- http://www.microsoft.com/college: MS offers a position of Software Development Engineer in Test. I wonder what this is. Need to check this out.
- Telus: not that I like Telus, but this seems to be the only wireless company attending
Interestingly enough, Research In Motion isn’t coming to the fair. I wonder how everything is going back there now.
