Hi all, 

Good morning! Best of luck to everyone who has exams this week, and for our members that are graduating this week best of luck with the future! I would especially like to thank Matthew Burke, my predecessor as president, and Chris Mullender, our former treasurer, for all their fantastic work on the committee over the last two years.

This week we will have an unofficial Geek Night, so feel free to join us in the Undergraduate Social Area on Saturday if you are still in Oxford.

Over the summer we will be organising new sponsorships for next year, as well as talks and events for Michaelmas and Hilary. If you know somebody that could give a great talk - or you are interested in delivering one yourself - please get in contact with our secretary, Edward Hart. Next year we are also planning on getting CompSoc stash (so perhaps you can get a hoodie to wear with all the sponsors' t-shirts!).

Have a great vac!

Thomas and the rest of the committee

Ensoft CV deadline - today!

Ensoft develops software that connects the world. The Internet depends every day on the code we write - it's challenging work that matters. It's also fun - being really good at writing complex software is what we enjoy.

We've grown by taking a few of the best Oxbridge graduates each year, and investing heavily in their training. It's an ideal environment for bright, creative people who want to develop rapidly. If you bring the computer science knowledge and coding skills needed to tame Internet-scale complex systems, you can solve challenging problems as part of a world-class software engineering team.

Do you want to find out more? Come and chat to us at the Summer Graduate & Internship Fair at the Oxford Town Hall on Tuesday 6th June, 2.30pm to 5.30pm.

Our application process is very simple: Email a CV to recruitment@ensoft.co.uk by midnight on Monday 12th June 2017. Interviews (lasting no more than 2 hours) are held on Friday 16th June at The Said Business School, Park End Street, 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 on 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.

Entrepreneur First Student Partner opportunity

We're on the lookout for a Student Partner to help us change the way the most talented students think about their careers. At Entrepreneur First we specialise in supporting people to build technically defensible companies from scratch and we're looking for ambitious Student Partners to help us inspire and engage the best student technologists to build a startup with EF. This is a great opportunity if you're interested in tech startups and either see yourself founding one or working for one in the future.

The role

You'll be helping us grow EF's brand at your university and encourage the best student engineers to start companies. This is a community-facing role and you'll be the eyes and ears 'on the ground' - gathering first-hand insights about our customers and helping them to kick-start their startup journeys with EF. You'll be focused on building a technical community and running tech and startup-focused meetups and events. You'll play a key role in driving applications to our EFX Internship programme enabling students to experience working for a startup first hand.
