May 14 - EE Industry Connection: Who gets hired in the tech industry?" with EE Alum Hans Otten from Tektronix

HKN is sponsoring an EE Industry Connection talk with EE Alum - Hans Otten of Tektronix on Monday, May 14th; all EE students are welcome!

Topic: Is a degree enough to get a job in Electrical Engineering today?

In today's competitive job market, it takes a lot more than a degree and good grades to secure and maintain a job in EE.  Hans Otten, a UW EE Alumni, and rising star within Tektronix, received multiple promotions within the first two years of working at Tektronix.  Hired as an entry level engineer, he is now the RSA Application Manager for Tektronix's line of Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers.  Hans is returning to UW EE to give EE students an up-to-date inside look at the industry, and tell how he got to where he is today. He will discuss the qualities and skills employers are looking for - and match those qualities on your resume.

Hans will also do a quick demo on the products he helped launch and take questions. This will be a great opportunity to learn how to be successful in EE. And - if this is not tempting enough, Hans is also one of the best magicians on the West Coast - so this promises to be a lively event! Snacks will be provided!

Time:   May 14th, Monday, 3:30 pm
Place:  EEB 303 Conference Room
Host:    Leo Lam
