October 6
11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
Erb Memorial Union (EMU) Ballroom

Looking for a part-time job or want to learn more about work-study opportunities? Stop by the Part-Time Job & Work-Study Fair, Tuesday, October 96 from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the EMU Ballrooms 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!

Lillis Business Complex Atrium

Meet multiple employers eager to hire interns and college grads in one evening. Ask direct questions, learn tips and insights on how to improve your application and stand out, and make an in-person impression for your next steps or the near future! Spots are limited so early registration is encouraged.

BizCareers in Finance and Real Estate 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!

This is a recruiting event. Use this as a chance to explore how your interests align with each company's roles, culture, and career paths. Come prepared with research on each company, an updated resume, and clear talking points about your interests and skills. 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 16) 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!

Companies in attendance to be announced—check back in September!

Why YOU should come to this Expo...

  • You're curious about your future. Explore different career paths and job roles across industries. EXPOse yourself to unique career pathways that can use your career readiness skills and passions to make an impact in the world.
  • You want to make connections. These organizations LOVE to hire Ducks and want to help you find your career fit. You might even meet UO alumni recruiting for them at the expo. Ask a recruiter what career readiness skills you can be building now to make you a top candidate in the present or future (and add them to your Linkedin network for future connections!).
  • You want to find a job, internship, year of service, volunteer opportunity, and more! If you're actively job searching, have your resume ready to hand out and a short and sweet synopsis about yourself and your professional interests ready to go! If you're just exploring options, collect contact info, do some additional research, and do an informational interview to learn more before you apply.
  • You want to build your confidence! Practice asking questions of employers AND sharing about who you are and what you're passionate about.  Every expo you attend and each time you approach a recruiter, you get more and more comfortable presenting yourself in a professional manner.

WHO'S COMING? Find your career fit with over 70+ employers comprised of private industry; public, educational, and non-profit organizations; local government, the federal government, law enforcement, and military--ALL on campus and excited to share more with you about their organization and early career talent opportunities. Open to students from ALL majors, classifications, and identities. Every expo looks a little different so come each term to keep exploring and expanding your career opportunities!

WHAT NEXT? Register for the Expo on Handshake today to learn about all the companies coming, and positions of interest you can be researching. We'll also send you tips and advice for how to make the most of the expo, including Career Readiness Week workshops like our Resume Extravaganza so you can have a great resume to hand to potential employers!

The University Career Center thanks Enterprise Mobility for sponsoring all our Fall Career Readiness Week events and workshops! Special thanks to our Expo Sponsors: COMING SOON
