Tech Resume Workshop Thursday April 1 4:45pm
March 31st, 2021
CSCI Students are invited to a Resume Workshop that will focus on writing a resume suitable for applying for jobs and internships in the Technology sector — jobs that might carry titles such as Software Engineer, Programmer/Analyst, or Data Scientist. Tech resumes are usually arranged somewhat differently than the standard business resume that you might hear about from Career Services, so even if you already have a resume if you are starting to apply for tech jobs you might want to make a version of it formatted in our way.
In the session we will talk about parts of a resume and how they should
fit together, and look at some actual resumes Oberlin students have used
to get jobs.
Here is a link for the workshop Thursday April 1 4:45p.m.

Oberlin CSCI dominates Denison ACM Spring 2020
March 10th, 2020
Great Showing by our ACM Teams taking 1st and 2nd and 4th at the 2020 Denison Spring Programming Contest.
This year, 15 teams from 4 schools (Denison, Oberlin, Ohio Wesleyan, and U of Akron) competed in this 4-hour contest.
The team “Big Daddy Roboboat and the Biggs Beverage Pod” from Oberlin won the contest, solving all six problems. “O(4)” (Oberlin) came second, “Goodbye World” (Denison) came in third, “Black IDE Peas” (Oberlin) fourth, and “qUArk” (Akron) fifth, all with three problems solved. Most teams solved at least one problem.
Congratulations to Julia Cornell, Anders Cornell, Riley Chinburg, and Katie Kim on a strong showing! CONGRATULATIONS!
