2012 CIE/USA-DFW Fall Leadership Assessment and Mentoring Program (LAMP)

December 1, 2012 - 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

  Words from Program Chair

Dear Young Professionals,

I am excited to announce that the CIE Fall Leadership Assessment and Mentoring Program will be held at the Hoblitzelle Hall Auditorium, HH 2.402 of University of Texas at Dallas on Saturday, December 1st.

The Fall LAMP, or 2012 CIE Fall Leadership Assessment and Mentoring Program, is co-hosted by Chinese Institute of Engineers/USA DFW Chapter (CIE) and Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars (FACSS) at University of Texas at Dallas.

In additional to the exciting keynote speech, we have redesigned the program’s panel session to feature “Live Job Interview”.  We will afford selected candidates live, on-stage mock interview opportunities to interact directly with high-profile panelists from leading com

panies.  Our panelists will conduct mock interview for proposed positions in business, engineering and science.  Furthermore, the panelists will discuss the “hits and misses” of each candidate’s interview performance and provide with targeted, well-crafted feedback and interview tips.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send them to lamp.cie@gmail.com.

We look forward to your participation and attendance!

Sincerely,

Kevin An

Program Chair of Fall-Lamp

Chinese Institute of Engineers/USA, DFW Chapter
