Ever get frustrated by job postings that say "NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE" or been unable to learn more about a company before applying — endeavoring to dig deeper than surface website content? Then you understand the value of actual face-time with recruiters and can appreciate First Avenue Career EXPO — the place where students and alumni can actually meet directly with reps recruiting for employment and graduate schools.
First Avenue Career EXPO provides Oregon’s top-tier liberal arts and sciences students and alumni with the opportunity to explore career and academic opportunities all in one setting. Here are a few reasons to attend:

- This is a great networking opportunity whether you are seeking employment, defining or re-defining your career goals; you can speak directly with representatives about the standards of their field.
- Gather the facts about graduate school and professional programs directly from 40+ recruiters eager to discuss the application process including prerequisites, personal statement/essays, admission tests, references, transcripts and timelines.
