We don’t know about you, but we’re excited for spring semester here at ThinkTalk. We have a lot of great shows planned, and we’re kicking it off with a Recruitville featuring LaTasha Gary, Sr. Director of the Global Channel Partner IT Group at Hewlett-Packard.

Watch Recruitville: HP Now.

HP is a global leader in information technology and actively recruits graduates for entry-level positions. Number 14 on the 2008 Fortune 500 list, the company looks for students with a wide variety of skills and experience (Read: you don't have to be a computer science major). HP was named of the 25 Noteworthy Companies by Diversity Inc in 2008. Woman Engineer Magazine ranked them at #13 on the list of the Top 50 Companies for Women Engineers.

If you want to work for HP, this is the show to watch. LaTasha told Scott from American University that extracurricular activities do matter and that the first thing she looks for in a resume is . . . well you’ll have to watch the show to find out (Hint: Being on the Dean’s List does matter).

LaTasha Gary graduated from Texas A & M with a B.S. in a computer science and from Howard University with a M.S. in computer science. She was named one of the top Houston Women in Technology by the Association of Women in Computing, and was even one of the Women of Color in Technology All Stars by Career Communications group.
