How do computers work? What does it take to write a computer program?
How can computing help address challenges in healthcare, water
management, education and more? What jobs are available to people
with computing skills?
This summer, UW Computer Science & Engineering will answer these
questions through a series of 1-week day camps in partnership with
Women in Science and Engineering and the Society of Women Engineers.
Participants will get hands-on experience in computing and participate
in creative projects. Two sessions (July 16 - 20 or July 23 - 27)
will be offered for students starting 7th, 8th or 9th grade in fall
2012. One session (August 13-17) will be offered for students
starting 10th, 11th or 12th grade in fall 2012. Admission will be
limited to 20 participants per session. Further details can be found

Can You Tell Your Story in 6 Seconds
The time is getting shorter to make an impression with your résumé. In the past, we've told you that research said employers spend about 10 seconds looking at a résumé the first time. New research indicates that they spend only 6 seconds looking at your résumé. That means you have only 6 seconds to make a good impression. Can you tell your story in 6 seconds?
Job recruitment website The Ladders conducted a formal survey of job recruiters using eye-tracking technology to figure out what matters most on your résumé. They found that, on average, recruiters spent 6 seconds deciding whether to trash your résumé or consider you for the position.
Recruiters spend nearly 80% of their time focusing on 6 different areas of a résumé:
Your name
Your current title/company
Your previous title/company
Your current position start and end dates
Your previous position start and end dates
Your education
In a competitive economy, where many people are competing for the same jobs, you need to use every advantage to win the position you want. When you're writing your résumé, make sure you focus on the 6 key areas that recruiters spend their time reviewing.
