Hi,
We wanted to let you know that the Ensoft deadline for graduate and
internship applications is fast approaching.
We develop software that connects the world. The internet depends every
single day on the code we write. It's interesting and challenging work
that matters. It's also fun - being really good at writing complex
software is what we enjoy.
We are offering graduate jobs for next September, with a starting salary
of £33,000. Summer internships are also available.
Our application process is very simple:
- Email a CV to recruitment(a)ensoft.co.uk
<mailto:recruitment@ensoft.co.uk>by *10am on Friday 29th November*
- Interviews (lasting no more than 2 hours) are held the following
Wednesday at The University Club, Oxford.
- If successful, you'll have a firm offer quickly.
You can find more details on www.ensoft.co.uk/careers, or get reminders
by following us on Twitter (@ensoftuk) or Facebook (ensoftuk). But I
would encourage you to apply soon. Whilst everything is designed to take
up as little of your time as we can, it is still very competitive for
places.
Thanks for your time, we hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Everyone,
We have plenty of awesome stuff lined up for you this week!
Firstly Ensoft, one of our sponsors, will be having a talk on *Wednesday
Afternoon* at the Department. This is not a CompSoc event, but there
will still however be some food! =)
The main event this week will be a LAN Party on Thursday (/Note:
Thursday not Wednesday/). There will be the usual purchase of lots of
pizza and refreshments, and we plan on playing until late! It will be epic!
We will also not only have the main Learn to Code event this week, but
also the joint Oxford Entrepreneurs and CompSoc Learn to Code class! So
if you are interested in extending any HTML and CSS Skills you have,
here is the place to do it! =)
Our geek night this week also has a couple of guest CTOs of companies
that have been accelerated by Entrepreneur First attending. They'll be
there for you to ask questions about entrepreneurship and what to do
after uni!
We hope to see you at many of our events this week!!! =)
All the details:

Gaming Night (LAN Party) 1

<http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/lan_party/>
This is the first BIG Gaming Night of the year!
Come down for an evening of computer games, bring your laptop, a power
cable, and an Ethernet cable along with you for a fun evening of
anything from TF2, to Age of Empires, Doom, Unreal Tournament, or
anything else you can think of.
Try and ensure that your games are up to date, because it will be
difficult to try and update the games during the event (the connection
is not expected to be amazing) and it will waste precious time.
There will of course be pizza and refreshments!
See you there!

About Learn to Code
During these events, there will be a mixture of interactive workshops
and talks. We will be teaching you the basics of programming
using Python <http://www.python.org/>. These events are good if you have
zero coding experience, but they are also valuable if you already have
started coding and would like to better your skills. We also welcome
people who already have good coding experience as the more volunteers
the better!
These events are always followed by our weekly Geek Night
<http://ox.compsoc.net/events/tags/geek_night/>.
You can find out more information about this series of events over
at ox.compsoc.net/learn <http://ox.compsoc.net/learn/>
We also have a facebook group for discussion if you are taking part in
this course: fb.com/groups/OXLearnToCode
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/OXLearnToCode/>
...and a group for those who would like to
volunteer: fb.com/groups/OXLearnToCodeHelpers

Entrepreneur First <http://www.entrepreneurfirst.org.uk/> will be
sending along CTO's from some of the companies they have helped
accelerate. There will be a chance to chat to them about what it's
really like taking such a big leap and deciding to start your own company!
Other than this, the night will be much the same, plenty of food, plenty
of drinks, plenty of doing whatever you like!
