It’s never too early or too late to start shaping your career path. Learn how to make the most of career tools, campus programs, and professional development opportunities designed to help you explore options, build confidence, and take your next steps forward. Register for this free event at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/0198e2b551ef7f9fb7c0ca9a85f6e27c to receive the Zoom link.

This is the first of seven events as part of the GradEdge: Midweek Career Workshops series. Join us every Wednesday afternoon this term!

Looking for a part-time job or want to learn more about work-study opportunities? Stop by the Part-Time Job & Work-Study Fair, Thursday, October 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the EMU Crater Lake Rooms to meet dozens of local and on-campus employers ready to hire today! Bring your resume and apply on the spot, or just look around and learn more about the great ways you can get work experience and build career readiness skills during your time at the UO. 

FYI: Work-Study is a specific type of part-time job available to students based on financial need. If a job says it requires Work-Study, you must have accepted an award on Duckweb. To learn more about the program and how to find your award, check out https://career.uoregon.edu/jobs-and-internships/work-study

There will still be LOTS of jobs at this event that do not require work-study in order to apply--something for everyone!
