Mock Interviews
Friday, September 14 (Required for Job Seekers)
Information....Firms were randomly assigned to one of the seven interview schedules. Each student will have a 30 minute interview, which will be videotaped, and then a 15 minute interview critique session with the firm representative. The mock interviews will be held in the Career Services Center in Pullen Hall. To get the most out of the activity, please treat your practice interview like it is the real thing - ie., wear a business suit, be prepared for behavioral interview questions, and do some research on the firm. Keep in mind, this activity will not substitute for an official campus interview with the firms. Representatives of the firm are solely here to provide professional feedback. Business professional attire is required. The firms should have a copy of your resume, however, you should still bring a copy with you. Information about the firm you are interviewing with will be posted on ePack Thursday afternoon.

ThePrivacyPlace.org SURVEY
ThePrivacyPlace.org Authentication Technologies Survey
ThePrivacyPlace.Org 2007 Authentication Technology Survey is Underway! Researchers at ThePrivacyPlace.Org are conducting an online survey about individuals' experience with and perceptions of authentication technologies. The survey is supported by an NSF ITR grant (National Science Foundation Information Technology Research) and will help us with our investigations regarding digital identities.
The URL is: http://www.theprivacyplace.org/current-survey/. We need to attract several thousand respondents, and would be most appreciative if you would consider helping us get the word out about the survey which takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. The results will be made available in 2008 via our project website (http://www.theprivacyplace.org/). Prizes include $50 Amazon.com gift certificates!
