Class of 2021: Career Pep Talk

Wednesday, May 26, 2021 at 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Virtual Event

Graduation is just around the corner, it’s totally ok if you’re nervous! There’s a lot of stress that comes with transitioning from college life to the professional world. Hear stories from a panel of young alumni and local leaders from the Eugene Young Professionals to gain encouragement and pro-tips about making the transition to this next phase of life—wherever that might take you.  

Topics to be discussed through panel and breakout sessions may include:  

  • How to stay motivated and focused during your job search. 

  • Understanding if you’re getting a “good deal” with salary and benefits. 

  • What types of questions to ask in an interview to discern if YOU actually want to work somewhere. 

  • Working full-time in an office vs. remote team. 

  • Making your (new) city feel like home. 

  • Getting involved in community and professional organizations.  

 

This event is a collaboration between the University of Oregon Career Center and the Eugene Young Professionals.
