Ever stare at your resume thinking, “Is this… good? Bad? Chaotic? Who even knows?” Yep, we’ve all been there.

Ever sit down to write a cover letter and think, “Wait… what am I even supposed to focus on?” You’re not alone!

Join us for just 45 minutes and turn that “uh-oh” into aha!

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. We’ll also show you what a cover letter really needs, how to tell your story without rambling, and how to highlight why you’re a perfect fit without sounding like a robot. Plus, we’ll dive into how AI is changing the application game and what that means for personalizing your letter.

Whether this is your first resume or cover letter or your tenth recycled template, you’ll leave with tips to make yours clear, compelling, and unmistakably you.

Come hang out with us in person. Let’s make cover letters fun (yes, really)!

Looking for a part-time job or want to learn more about work-study opportunities? Stop by the Part-Time Job and Work-Study Fair, Tuesday, October 6 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the EMU Ballroom 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!

Register in Handshake to keep up to date on which employers are coming to the fair and what jobs you can be applying for!  

Come hang out with therapy dogs from F.E.T.C.H. and your on-campus Peace Corps recruiter!

The start of a new school year can be stressful, so take a moment to stop by and learn about all the places your degree can take you with the Peace Corps and pet a dog.

So, you need to find a part-time job, like ASAP? On- and off-campus jobs and work-study experiences help you gain new skills, make connections (and money!), and add valuable work and career readiness competencies to your resume. There are all kinds of opportunities out there—you just have to know how, when, and where to find them!

Join us for a crash course in local and on-campus job search strategies and LOTS of personalized advice to help you stand out in the crowd. Let's do this!

Did you know you can have someone review your resume before the Fall Career & Internship Expo on 10/22? Drop-in with a career readiness coach or peer coach in Tykeson Hall Commons to get feedback on your resume! Free cookies & hot chocolate too :)

BizCareers in Marketing, Sales, and Analytics is a unique recruiting event facilitated by the Lundquist College of Business, not a career fair, but focused industry hiring and insights. If you are ready to apply and land your summer internship or post-grad role—or to make an impression and learn what it will take in the following year—be sure to attend!

Attend a preparatory session, meet with an advisor, or visit drop-in advising in Lillis 155.

Attending companies are limited to 8 to 10 who are actively hiring for internships or college grad roles for the 2026–2027 cycle. Many companies are offering multiple openings or cohort-style hiring, meaning strong chances for placement. Round robin format rotations through up to 8 sessions with small groups of 20 to 25 students will allow for focused time with hiring teams. Each session may also include an informative talk, meet and greet, or question and answer session depending on the company.

Be sure to attend the follow-up opportunity the next morning (October 23) at BizCareers Breakfast, an open networking session from 9:00–10:00 a.m. in the atrium of the Lillis Business Complex to continue building relationships with recruiters from the event. Demonstrate your interest, commitment, and initiative!
