#!SUITS

This Thursday, we have two very big events on. Our weekly BBQ will be happening outside the School of IT as usual from 12:30 until 1:30.

Come back at night at 6pm we’ll be having drinks at Manning Bar and a lot of fun. At around 6:30pm the Sydney Uni Band Comp will start up so stick around to enjoy it.

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!

What is working in the ICT industry like? Find out for yourself as SUITS takes you on a journey to discover life at various companies in the Sydney CBD.

This year, we’ll be visiting our major sponsor Optiver, a finance company with a huge emphasis in IT. Good people is what makes everything come together as market makers in derivatives trading over Australian, Asian and European markets.

No journey is complete without visiting a software company. We’ll also be spending some time with Atlassian, an agile software development company that’s proud to be open and with “no bullshit”. They build collaboration and developer tools that’s useful and simply works.

Meanwhile, I’m trying to see if we can visit Macquarie Bank’s amazing new building at King Street Wharf, 1 Shelley Street, in the City!

Agenda and registration is after the break. If you have previously registered with me for the event before it’s been postponed, please re-register so that I can get a better understanding of your needs.

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
