Come join us on Thursday, May 23rd at the Chainsaw Saloon for our fall term Tech Start-Up Recruiting and Information Event!
This is a FREE event.
Working for a startup gives you the opportunity to manage your own tasks, watch your deliverables hit the market and be in an awesome environment!
Many of the startups attending have positions to fill and are looking for students like YOU to join their team, so come to Chainsaw and engage in conversation to learn more about the companies and what they have to offer.
Check out this video from the January recruiting event to see what it's all about!
Not only is this a great way for you to learn more about working for a startup by talking to founders and staff, but you can also enjoy the FREE poutine buffet and FREE drinks, with FREE beer starting at 7:30 p.m.
And of course, there will be nerf gun giveaways and Vidyard will be presenting the popular live coding challenge - where the winner will be offered an internship/co-op job on the SPOT!
You don't need to be 19 to come, but you DO need to bring your ID and a few resumes.
NO ID and NO Resume = NO Entrance
Please be sure to register and let us know you're coming!
Hope you're as excited as we are - can't wait to meet you!

At Auvik Networks, we believe that networking is too complex in the IT environment. Unless you have a dedicated team of networking engineers it's hard to make time to stay on top of the best practices for monitoring and securing your network, let alone actually configure everything. The result is an inflexible network that can't keep up with the latest trends.
Auvik wants to make networking easier. Through the use of some really cool technology, Auvik's cloud managed network automation platform dramatically simplifies the way IT configures, monitors, and manages its network.
