Silicon Valley now has more opportunities than it ever has in the past. When I was studying at South Carolina, it all seemed so far away and unreachable. I had no idea how to try to get a job at Google or a small startup. Now that I'm there I can't walk down the street or into a bar without someone trying to convince me to leave my current job to join their company. During my talk we will go over what the job market and hiring process is like at many companies in Silicon Valley. I will discuss some examples of what it is like working at Google & my current startup,

Hello Fellow USC Students, I am working on a new start-up, and we have worked out a business plan that is starting to gain some popularity. We are now attempting to get to the next level by getting a demo and/or a MVP (minimally viable product). In order to start attracting investors and gain more momentum, we are looking for an individual who be willing to do a small contract for bringing our product into visual presentation. Please see below for the skill sets we are looking for in a contract position. Our Business Project: A social media app designed for athletes, sports enthusiast, and all people who are looking to find other people to play sports. The design is based on studies and surveys we have conducted. Contact us for more information. Contract Position for Web/App Design We are looking for someone who can create sleek presentations about Websites and Apps. This individual will be an “artists” at web design or app design. At this point in time functionality is not as important as looks and flow. Please email me if you have the skills to take on this project, and email me other web and app designs that you have done. Depending on investments, we would likely hire this person on full-time later. We will negotiate pay for the project. Joseph Demke joseph.demke@gmail.com

I’m a senior here in the DMSB and my company has been developing an app and have outsourced the majority of the coding. However, we have some changes that need to be done. Basically we would like to change the layout and design of our UI. Everything else has been done already, and we have the source code. At this point we have limited cash, although we are currently seeking VC funds. In the meantime, we are willing to offer up some equity. Thank you for your time.

We would like to invite all faculty/educators and students to participate in IBM University Day on Friday, November 14, (8:30 AM - 12:40 PM) at the IBM Employee Activity and Fitness Center (EAFC) in RTP, NC. Each year, RTP CAS sponsors IBM University Day, as an opportunity to bring together the IBM NC research/development/services and local/regional academic communities. One goal is to allow the universities to inform the local IBM community of ongoing projects, new developments and opportunities for collaboration (highlighting skills and strengths, etc.) - and vice versa - hopefully helping to launch new projects. Another goal is to bring future employees (students) together with prospective employers (IBM managers and recruiters) - with a student poster as one very effective approach to advertising one's self. The event consists of three tracks: main hall presentations, parallel back room workshops and meetings, and poster sessions and tables/booths in the hallways. This fall, the theme of IBM University Day will be the "Internet of Things (IoT)". Our technical leaders will provide an overview of the challenges to and planned responses by IBM web and cloud infrastructure solutions to this rapidly growing space, along with advanced research and development around the BigData challenges associated with exploding sensor and other IoT-related data. The rest of the day's agenda will be comprised of a series of presentations on IoT-related research being performed by the faculty and researchers at several of our local universities,. Backroom workshops and tables/booths will be sponsored by several IBM university relations programs. Students will have an opportunity to meet with prospective hiring managers. Representatives from the IBM Academic Initiative will also be available to discuss its many program benefits, including the availability of most of the IBM software catalogue for use in teaching and research, absolutely free. And representatives from IBM Global University Programs (which funds university collaborations through programs like the IBM Shared University Research, Faculty Awards and PhD Fellowship programs) will also be there. Immediately after IBM University Day, we will be hosting the IBM BlueMix IoT Design Workshop in the main hall of the IBM RTP EAFC. The event is specially designed for students to provide them hands-on experience with our hosted IoT services, as part of the larger IBM BlueMix IoT Design Challenge. Students can register at http://cloudmobilechallenge.mybluemix.net and should attend the kickoff meeting on November 7. See the website for more details. Additionally, IBM Recruiting will be on hand, and we are organizing a recruiting event for students with local IBM Managers. More details will follow.
