Resumo da palestra (em ingles,.. sem tempo pra traduzir, sorry!)

Students face a difficult decision. Should they pursue a career in
academics or one in industry? If they select industry, what type of
job should they look for? Many students have extensive experience in
academic settings, but very limited experience with industry. Thus,
this paper is designed to provide an introduction to working in
industry. The following questions are addressed:

What Would You Do In Industry?
How Does Industry Differ From Academics?
What Skills Is Industry Looking For?
How Do You Make Contact With Industry?
What Makes A Good Resume?
What Is An Interview Like?
How Does An Industrial Interview Differ From An Academic One?
What Should an Employee Know, Do and Avoid For A Successful Industrial Career

What Factors Lead To Success and Failure In Industry?
