Words from Program Chair

Dear Young Professionals,

 I am excited to announce that the 2012 CIE-LAMP symposium will be held at the Hoblitzelle Hall Auditorium, HH 2.402 of University of Texas at Dallas on Saturday, June 16th.

The CIE-LAMP, or 2012 CIE-FACSS Leadership Assessment and Mentoring Program Symposium, 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 companies.  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,

Yong (Eric) Peng, Ph.D.,

Program Chair of CIE-LAMP

Chinese Institute of Engineers/USA, DFW Chapter

 

Program Introduction

 

1) How it Works:

05/19 – 06/06: Accepting Resumes from Interested Participants

We accept resumes in WORD or PDF format.  When you submit your resume, please include the phrase “resume – Your Name” in the subject line.

06/07 – 06/10: Resume Review and Selected Candidates Notification

We will select 8 resumes for four virtual job positions, of which two in business, two in engineering and science.  Selected candidates for on-stage mock interviews will be notified by 06/10.

 06/11-06/15：Resume Service and Interview Training

We will help you to sharpen your resumes and interview skills!  We have invited UTD Career Service Center to polish the resumes for selected candidates and provide an interview skill training.

06/16:  Event Date

• We have created four virtual job positions. Two selected candidates will be interviewed for each of these positions.
• Each of the four job positions will be interviewed on the front stage of an auditorium by four panelists in a 40 minutes period.  Each interview period is composed of a 28 minutes Q&A session and a 12 minutes interview feedback session.
• In the following closing ceremony, all eight candidates with be awarded with “participation certificates” by our panelists, and three out-performers with be awarded with “outstanding performance trophies”.
• If the panelists are impressed by any candidates and want to provide personal references for job positions at their companies, or if the panelists want to share more interview feedback off-stage, they can have the opportunity to do so in the post-event social.  The post-event social will be a casual, intimate ‘Thank You’ party open to all panelists, candidates and volunteers.

We welcome students/graduates of the following majors to submit your resume:

 Business Majors:                           Accounting, finance, supply chain, operational management, marketing, or related fields

Engineering/science majors:       Electrical engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, statistics, or related fields

Your resumes will be reviewed and selected by invited experienced HR professionals.  Based on your background and qualifications, your resume will be channeled to the most suitable job position for on-stage interview.
