Husky Career Lunch FAQ
Q: How many table choices do I have to provide when I register?
A. You must indicate at least first and second choices. Because many tables will fill quickly, you are encouraged to also provide third and fourth choices.
Q: On what basis will you assign tables that are over subscribed?
A. Table assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis, based on the date and time that the registration form is submitted.
Q: What sort of registration confirmation will I receive?
A. An email confirmation and receipt will display on your computer immediately following submission of your registration. In addition, shortly before the event all registrants will receive a follow-up reminder email that will include updated event information.
Q: Are the table hosts going to be company recruiters?
A. No. Table hosts will be experienced professionals who are knowledgeable about their fields and interested to share their perspective with UW students and recent grads. Their role at the Husky Career Lunch is education and networking, not recruitment. Many hosts also serve as Husky Career Network contacts; Husky Career Network is the alumni association's online networking tool.
Q: When can I check in?
A. Early check-in will be available on the day of the event from 9:00 a.m. to noon in the HUB 2nd floor lounge adjacent to the Ballroom. When you check in you will receive your table participant packet, which includes your initial table and table host assignment (for the first portion of the event) -- as well as a complete roster of all table hosts for your use during the Open Floor segment that concludes the event. You are strongly encouraged to take advantage of early check-in, both to avoid long lines at the event and to allow yourself sufficient time to review the table host information. Regular check-in will begin at 12:15 p.m. in the HUB West Ballroom. It is not necessary to check in again if you have already picked up your materials at early check-in.
Q: How can I find out more about the table hosts?
A. As table hosts are confirmed for this event, information will be added to a Table Host Preview link on the event site. Information about all table hosts will be provided in the participant packet that you'll receive when you check in. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the early check-in option in order to review in advance your table assignment and the complete list of table hosts.
Q: Will I have an opportunity to connect with other table hosts in addition to the host at my assigned table?
A. Absolutely! During the "Open Floor" time that concludes the event, you are welcome to either remain at your assigned table or to visit any other tables of interest.
Q: How should I dress?
A. Business casual is recommended. It should also be noted however, that the event atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable - and the table hosts are very supportive.
Q: What's for lunch?
A. A sandwich buffet will be provided for participants. Vegetarian selections will be available.
Q: Can I leave early if I have a 1:30 class?
A. Yes. There is a short break in the program at about 1:20 and registrants that have a 1:30 class can leave at this time.
Q: What's the cancellation and refund policy?
A. Refunds can be requested until February 14 by emailing cdwlunch@u.washington.edu. Refunds will be offered after February 14 only in cases where none of the registrant's preferred table selections are available.
Q: Who makes this event possible?
A. The Husky Career Lunch is presented by the Career Services program of the University of Washington Alumni Association.
Q: What if I have more questions?
