TBA aims to provide guidance and holistic insights on behavior interviews to any job-seeking UW student hoping to sharpen their interview skills. We invited back numerous UW alumni as professionals and recruiters, from companies such as Amazon and ByteDance, to share their tips and tricks on behavioral interviews. Our students had an opportunity to learn directly from the guests, ask questions, and connect with the guests professionally. The students practiced interview prompts and networking amongst each other.
Freshman Networking Night (FNN)
FNN provides a perfect way to celebrate first-year students' new chapters in their lives. Here, upper-level students share their exciting experiences at UW with the new huskies. We invited upper-level students to discuss academic paths related to business and technologies, as well as study management tips, to give the new huskies a better picture of their lives at UW. Furthermore, TBA helped first-year students network with peers.
Tech Consulting 101
Uncovering the Mystery of the Consulting Industry
We invited four professionals working in the consulting industry, mainly focusing on Tech Consulting, to give a thorough overview of the industry for students who are interested in this field at UW. We aim to provide opportunities for both groups of students - individuals who have a basic understanding and those who are unfamiliar with the industry. By attending this event, students who already have a basic idea are able to develop a more comprehensive understanding, and students that are unfamiliar with the industry are able to discover a new potential career path.

We invited UW students and professionals majoring in Informatics and Foster-Information Systems as speakers. The current students shared their reflections and experiences to have the students get a broader understanding of the prospective academic and professional life. The professionals introduced the prospects of the two majors based on their career pathways, depicted the skills required in industries, and shared their personal experiences in terms of applying their professional knowledge on their career life.
