It’s true that Microsoft here in Australia doesn’t do much development work. But, did you know that Microsoft in Redmond, USA actually hires internationally?

Meet the company next Tuesday, 25 Aug 09 at UNSW K17 Seminar Room from 6pm to 7pm to find out how to get hired in a software development role with just your talent and passion for technology.

There’ll be free food, and bring your résumé along, to win a share of the prizes.

If you make it, flights to the US and other relocation costs is actually covered by Microsoft!

For those whom aren’t into making software, Microsoft has Marketing, Sales and Services intern and full-time positions here in Australia! Find out more about this on 26 Aug 09 from 1pm to 2pm at The Roundhouse, UNSW. Free food and prizes too!

Questions? Contact me (Attn: Industry Liaison) or Lisa (Microsoft International Recruiting) directly on lisabar@microsoft.com.

Event: A trip to discover Optiver, Atlassian and the new Google-plex

Urgent Notice: This event has has been postponed to the mid-semester break, 29 September, 2009.

Sorry guys, I’m pushing this back a bit because I didn’t quite get the numbers I was expecting. (Why do people go on holidays during the break?) The reason why I’d like this to be more accessible to everyone is because all of Optiver and Atlassian and Google have put in so much to make this a wonderful day, and I would like to share his opportunity with as many people as possible.

So, I’ll keep you updated with any news about this event via Facebook and the SUITS Newsletter and you can keep track of SUITS events via our Google calendar, which you’ll find on our website, http://www.suits.org.au/

By the way, if you’re not getting the newsletters you can let our IT guy (Tim) know by email suits@it.usyd.edu.au

We’d like to thank everyone who came along to our Trivia Night on Wednesday Night.  Congratulations to Team When Doves Cry, who all won double-passes to the movies, SUITS Shirts, free barbeque and a whole lot chocolate.  It was a fantastic night, with categories ranging from geography to internet culture to an audio-visual round.  There was also more chocolate than you could ever consume as well as dinner and drinks, and it was all free!  If you missed out this time, don’t despair; we’re sure to have another Trivia Night next semester!
