Updates Hi everyone, If you have been reading the Fiesta posts closely, you would have realised that next week we have our Ordinary General Meeting (OGM). This is where we will *update you on the various happenings*, on completed events and upcoming ones. As it is a members' meeting, everyone will have the chance to *engage the Exco* on any matter that concerns the society. To include it in the agenda, you can click on the agenda link below for directions. Finally, we will be giving out your *membership cards* PLUS a *free Ben & Jerry's cup* to all attendees who sign up at the link below. We will also be presenting the *Fiesta awards* and Point Hope will be presenting their Book Prize to their awardees. As for Hall Fiesta, all you have to do now is to "like" all your favourite dishes on our Facebook page, under the Hall Fiesta album. Then, come down to OGM to witness the presentation of all 3 awards of "Closest to Home", "Best Caption" and "Most Popular Dish"! Some announcements: 1. Nottingham games is *this Saturday*. Time to take out the war paint and bring along your warrior gear to the year's last major sports competitive showdown. 2. 2nd "Wicked" Outing. *Only 6 tickets available*, which will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. No time to wait. Early bird catches the worm. 3. Shopping Trip and Autumn Trip are now closed! Any new signups will be put on the waiting list. Now for the non-ICSS stuff, that are nonetheless important and quite relevant to some of you: 1. The UKSSC AGM will be held on the *17th of November*. You may sign up as a candidate or nominate your friends. Deadline for submission of Nomination Form and Manifesto is 10th November 2359hrs. 2. Chance to meet DBS CEO, Mr. Piyush Gupta at a *complimentary* talk cum networking event held at Millennium Gloucester Hotel on the *6th of November *. Food will be provided, and if previous experience is to be trusted, you can be sure that it will be of a high standard. 3. Finally, for those who may consider a career in NEA, EDB, MFA or Foster Wheeler, check out the OSU career series below. Once again, thanks for reading.

Our company is seeking the most knowledgeable students in each of the following industries: - Investment Banking, M&A and Private Equity - Trading (from global macro to quants and algo. specialists) - Hedge Funds and Alternative Investments - Venture Capital Your task will be to compose discerning blog posts about your specialist area on a weekly or bi-monthly basis. These blog posts will be seen by thousands and may significantly raise your online career profile with leading financial industry employers.
