At 7 PM on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, IEEE-EMBS and IEEE-CS combine resources for their second annual panel discussion addressing issues pertinent to audience members, whether students, graduates, people in transition or those who are just interested in the “possibilities”. You are invited and welcomed to bring your own questions or anecdotes.
The forum will be led by Moderator Abby Corrin, who is employed at Teledyne and also studying for her PhD at UCLA. Our panelists will include Karl Geiger of the Computer Society; Dr. Bob Rumer from CLU; Pat Jacobs, President of Advanced Personnel Profiles; Nathalie Gosset, futurist and business development expert at AMI-USC; Nicole Bidwell, Executive Recruiter; and Steven Johnson of Amgen. With a combination of representatives from industry, academia and executive placement we will have a comprehensive overview of today’s exciting job opportunities.
