Hi all,
Hopefully you're all settled back into your Oxford routines and you're
looking forward to the rest of term (aside from exams, perhaps!). This week
we're hosting our usual geek night as well as a tech talk from CoreFiling,
a local Oxford company, on the Internet of Things and Kubernetes. If you're
interested in either embedded hardware or containers this should be a great
talk to come along to!
One of our sponsors has asked that we share this UCAS survey about how CS
students view technology <https://www.surveybuilder.com/s/eQkba/nav#p/186a0>.
It only takes a few minutes to fill in.
Have a great week!
Thomas and the rest of the committee

<https://boards.greenhouse.io/workforef/jobs/599587#.WPTpeFLMyV5>
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.
