Practice Interview Day Drop-In (12:00pm-4:00pm)
April 19
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!

PARTICIPATING GUEST EMPLOYERS/ALUMNI COMING SOON!

Please join us for a talk by James L. Flexner, Associate Professor of Historical Archaeology and Heritage, University of Sydney, on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 at 3:30 PM in the Museum of Natural and Cultural History Galleria. 

The archaeology of Catholic missions is a subject of global research, including the Pacific Rim from the California hills to remote Pacific Islands. Beginning in 1834, a group of Catholic priests and lay builders under the auspices of the Pères des Sacrés Coeurs established a mission in the Mangareva Islands (also called Îles Gambier) in what is today French Polynesia. In the subsequent decades, the missionaries and their Polynesian converts constructed churches and shrines on each of the main inhabited islands; a royal complex for the “king” Maputeoa; towers and other monuments; and dozens of stone houses for Christian Islanders. Remarkably, this landscape of conversion and culture change remains largely in place today, albeit in a state of ruination. This talk presents the current findings of an ongoing four-year project investigating the archaeology of the Catholic mission in the Mangareva Islands and relevant cultural collections around the world. Archaeological survey and excavations during 2022 and 2023 documented dozens of 19th century mission structures, from the grand cathedral in Rikitea to the boys’ school at Aukena Island, to local sites of food production such as bread ovens and pits for the making and preserving of popoe (fermented breadfruit paste). This research highlights themes of transformation, but also adaptation and resilience during a century of dramatic encounters with others in Oceania.

Three years after the Arab Spring, the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa still grapple with many questions about who will rule, and how. The civil war in Syria drags on; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict endures without resolution; and governments in many countries and regions face popular challenges to their authority. This symposium engages the University of Oregon and Eugene communities in a vibrant discussion of these and other critical issues in the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond.
