2009 Commencement Speaker- Marissa Mayer, Google, Inc.

The 2009 IIT Commencement will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2009 on IIT’s Main Campus. This year's commencement speaker is Marissa Mayer. Marissa leads Google's efforts on search products — web search, images, news, books, products, maps, — and other consumer-facing initiatives such as Google Toolbar, Google Desktop, Google Health, Google Labs, and more. Her contributions have included designing and developing Google's search interface, internationalizing the site to over 100 languages, and launching more than 100 features and products on Google.com.

Several patents have been filed on her work in artificial intelligence and interface design. Google's first female engineer, Marissa joined in 1999 and led the user interface and web server teams at that time.

Concurrently with her full-time work at Google, Marissa has taught introductory computer programming classes at Stanford University, where she earned both her B.S. in Symbolic Systems and her M.S. in Computer Science. Stanford has recognized her with the Centennial Teaching Award and the Forsythe Award for her outstanding contribution to undergraduate education.

She has been named as one of the "50 Most Powerful Women" by Fortune, and Newsweek has listed her among the "10 Tech Leaders of the Future."

" Job Search Engine,"
I like using http://www.Hound.com for job search due to the fact that the site shows only jobs from employer career pages. There are numerous advantages to finding jobs from employer career pages but the main ones are (1) these are not advertised and receive fewer applications and (2) there is no middleman (recruiter) forwarding your resume to the employer and (3) there are more jobs on employer career pages than job boards.
one of the best jobs sites I have ever seen. Ill give it 10 out of 10 if I have to give points to it. I and many of my known has got Jobs from http://www.Hound.com. You can search jobs with easy as the classification is very good in terms of cities and type of Job.
It also gives you career advice and job search advice Latest jobs are given on this site as soon they are available in a particular area or before any other site posts that as It shows the jobs from direct Recruiters and no third party is involved in between for making money. Latest job appear first on this site and no expired jobs are there. Updating is done everyday.
The number of jobs given is also guide big as compared to other sites. Jobs are included from most of the fortune 500 companies.
When I was jobless and searching for job every second site only this site helped me to find a Job. Just go through it once and you will feel the difference. I seriously recommend all the When I was job seekers to visit http://www.Hound.com once.
