Dallas SWE held their first professional development meeting of FY23, hosted by our Gold Sponsor Analog Devices (ADI) Thursday September 30, 2022. We kicked off the evening with some informal networking over a light dinner on a beautiful terrace. After networking, Kathy Vehorn and Priti Gadgil, introduced ADI and the services and products they develop which we’ve all at some point experienced firsthand embedded in cell phone touch screens, voice assistants, car and airplanes electronics.
We also learned about the Analog Garage, a corporate incubator program to provide entrepreneurs with a path to propose, explore and scale new technologies and new business models. It’s called the Analog Garage for two reasons: to recognize the importance of analog know-how in these applications that are instrumenting the world; and to give a nod to all the garages, basements and other nondescript quarters that have served as home for countless beginnings in the history of technological innovation.
After some Dallas SWE announcements, Claire Jordan did a great job illustrating good and bad examples of resumes throughout the night. During the session, we learned how to apply best practices to make our resumes stronger. At the end attendees were able to ask questions. An informal discussion was held where attendees shared, based on personal experiences as hiring managers or job seekers, recommendations on how to make resumes stand out.
