  • Flash fill and quick analysis: Discover how Excel can recognize patterns and automate formatting, and use the quick analysis tool to instantly visualize your data.  
  • Mini visuals with sparklines: Add tiny, powerful charts directly into cells to show trends at a glance in dashboards and reports.  
  • What-if analysis and goal seek: Explore scenario planning tools that help you test outcomes and find the exact inputs needed to reach your goals.  
  • Consolidate tool: Combine data from multiple sheets or workbooks into one streamlined summary. No manual copy-pasting required.  
  • Forecast sheet: Use built-in forecasting tools to project future trends based on historical data, with just a few clicks.  

This workshop is ideal for anyone who works with data in Excel and wants to move beyond formulas into smarter, faster analysis. Whether you're tracking budgets, managing projects, or reporting outcomes, these tools will help you work more efficiently and make your data work harder for you.

January 30
noon
Willie and Donald Tykeson Hall 1st Floor Commons

Real employers. Real conversations. Right here on campus.

A practice interview helps you prepare for real-life interviews, which increases your chances of getting additional interviews and acquiring the job. It is also a great way to meet and network with professionals, which can lead to opportunities in the future. Anyone can participate in a practice interview and it’s fun to practice with people in different industries to see different styles of interviewing you might encounter in real life.

The UO Practice Interview Day is designed to help you acquire professional interview skills, get feedback from experienced professionals, and gain confidence. You will not be interviewing for a specific job at the company our volunteer works for. You will instead be practicing commonly asked interview questions and getting active feedback on your communication style, professionalism, and more.

Each practice interview will last ~30 minutes and you will get instant feedback from one of our professional interviewers.

Register in Handshake ahead of time to get tips and early access to the practice interview questions! Interviews are on a first-come, first-serve basis with multiple slots each half-hour. Set aside at least 30 minutes to participate. Drop-in and grab the next open time slot! *BRING RESUMES*

Professional Edge: (Neuro)Inclusive Leadership Training
February 6

Learn the key principles of being a neuro-inclusive leader in today's and tomorrow's working environment while exploring leadership outside of traditional hierarchy structures. Develop skills to understand and respect different ways of thinking, and gain insights into how diverse perspectives strengthen organizational outcomes.

This Professional Edge training provides a deep dive into intersectionality and examines how identity influences people's experiences at work. You will understand the importance of psychological safety at work through the lens of trauma-informed principles and discover what makes a workplace psychologically safe for all team members.

Throughout the training, you will learn to assess different business scenarios for inclusive or exclusive policies and environments, developing the analytical skills needed to identify areas for improvement.  

Schedule

  • Week 1: Friday, February 6, 1:00–3:00 p.m.
  • Week 2: Friday, February 13, 1:00–3:00 p.m.
  • Week 3: Friday, February 20, 1:00–3:00 p.m.
  • Week 4: Friday, February 27, 1:00–3:00 p.m.

Participants who attend all sessions of this program and fulfill all requirements are eligible to earn a Neuroinclusive Leadership microcredential.

This credential is perfect for showcasing your skills on LinkedIn and other platforms, offering tangible proof of your newly acquired competencies.  

Why Participate

  • You are looking to build and strengthen your ability to lead and support others in a rapidly changing and growing digital workplace.  
  • You are interested in reflecting on your identity, how it may vary from others and what privilege and oppression can look like in the workplace.  
  • You are interested in learning how your past experiences and behavior can support or detract from the psychological safety of your work environment.  

What You'll Gain

At the end of this training, you'll be able to:

  • Recognize and appreciate neurodiversity as the natural variation in the way people think, feel and experience the world and understand these differences are not deficits.  
  • Foster workplace environments that embrace neurodiversity through inclusive policies, practices, and physical/digital environments.  
  • Understand as formal or informal leader, that there is no singular "ideal leader" and that there are many ways to lead.  
  • Build more compassionate, trusting spaces through an understanding of how trauma impacts our understanding of self and others.  
  • Recognize the nuance of intersectionality in the workplace and understand that neuroidentity is only one aspect of how marginalization and privilege can be present in the workplace.

We’ll cover what actually matters on a resume, how to make your experience shine (even if you think you don’t have any), and what to cut so your resume doesn’t turn into a five-page novel. Plus, we’ll break down how AI plays a role in the job application process: what it notices, what it ignores, and how to make sure your resume stands out.

Whether you’re just getting started or think your resume is already polished, you’ll leave with tips to make it clean, strong, and job ready.
