GHC - Grace Hopper Celebration

相信每个北美的妹子都知道GHC是什么吧？

创始人Grace Hopper 女士是美国海军准将及计算机科学家，世界上最早一批的程序员，也是最早的女性程序员之一。她在第二次世界大战期间，加入美国海军后备军服役。她创造了现代第一个编译器A-0系统，以及商用电脑编程语言“COBOL”，被誉为COBOL之母。

GHC官网介绍是：Grace Hopper Celebration is the world’s largest gathering of women technologists. It is produced by AnitaB.org and presented in partnership with ACM.

对于学生来说，参加GHC最重要的就是它有 Career Fair 环节，美国超过100家公司和大学都会在那里设置摊位宣传&招聘，对于美国的女大学生们来说真的是一个相当好的求职机会！没准备好的话也可以去聊聊天，拿到很多公司的swag也是一件很有趣的事儿！微软的袜子、Google的袋子、IBM的布朗尼、Uber的唇膏、Yahoo的甲油等等~

今天这个文章是楼主根据自己备战GHC的经历还有在网上搜索的一些资料的汇总。

  • 其他注意事项：

    • 上传简历：
      一定要事先在 GHC 的 database 上传好自己的简历，参加会议的公司如果对你感兴趣会直接email你，和你约面试。注意，大部分和你约面试的公司都是要求你本人当天要去参加GHC的，不去的话给面试的概率较小。

    • GHC 的 Career Fair 要早去，第一天最好拿onsite，之后越来越难。Timing 很重要。

    • 很多公司现场给 Offer，去之前要做好充分的准备，刷题刷起来！

    • 如果没有参加上GHC也不要灰心，很多地区（如西雅图）同一时期，或者在GHC之后会举办小型的 GHC 活动，但是Career Fair规模小一点，来参加的公司不多，楼主自己参加了2017年西雅图地区的小型GHC，是在微软举办的，门票好像才50刀左右，具体抢票也是在AnitaB.org官网。

    • 据楼主了解，2018年谷歌西雅图地区也举办了小型GHC活动，但是这个入场需要googler的内推，名额有限。19年的情况是不是一样到时候再来更新。
