Hello! Just following up on last night's rorosyd announcement about Meet a Mentor <http://www.meetup.com/Meet-a-mentor-for-students-of-technology/events/192327432/>. It's 6pm tomorrow night at the Metropolitan Hotel (Level 2, 1 Bridge Street, Sydney).
It's designed to get students in technology speaking with people in the industry, asking real questions so they know what they're getting themselves in for :) When I was a CompSci student, I had no idea what people did in a normal day of work, let alone where you could take a career so we think it'll be useful. There will be mentors from a range of backgrounds (development, UX, design, startup founders) and the format on the night is designed to be really informal and welcoming so that students can ask questions. At this stage there's a 4:1 ratio of students to mentors. More information can be found here: http://www.meetup.com/Meet-a-mentor-for-students-of-technology/events/192327432/ Most of you won't be students, but please pass this on to students you know :) If you have any questions, email me or Tweet @meetamentor.
