The Women in Graduate Science (UOWGS) organization at the University of Oregon focuses on the professional development of women in all disciplines of science to enable them to become successful contributors to their fields.
This mission is accomplished by informative workshops, inspirational speakers, and a community outreach program. In addition, the organization provides social support for women scientists at the University of Oregon, and offers financial support with yearly scholarships.
The UOWGS invites all who encourage and support the advancement of women in science to become members. The UOWGS is supported by the Graduate School, generous donors, fundraising events, and member dues.

The point of all this education is to land a job that best fits your skill set, talents, values, and interests. In this session we will explore issues related to identifying the type of job best suited for your talents, identifying your strengths and gaining confidence in these strengths, developing a resume that effectively highlights your achievements and goals, being effective in both an in-person and phone interview, and being prepared for the job offer and negotiation. Participants will be asked to bring a resume and a list of the talents and accomplishments that they would like to see written in a letter of recommendation about themselves.
