resume tips

1. It is not enough to

list your experiences and credentials; you must decide which of your qualifications you wish to highlight. The more clearly you match your skills with your potential employer’s needs, the more easily you will get an interview.

2.

Every resume should (at least) have a heading with identifying information, an education section and an experience section. Past jobs could fall under the experience section.

3. Begin with most recent

education and experience and work backwards.

4. Focus on skills and

accomplishments and not routine duties. Be honest.

5.

Some people include a “Profile” or “Summary of Qualifications” section. This works well if you have significant experience in a given area, and it allows you to highlight areas of expertise and experience at the beginning of your resume.

Cover letter tips

1. Avoid copying sample

cover letters — they will not represent you adequately and will probably sound artificial

dash paulsennews reporter

Three students walk into a bar: a business ma-jor, a chemistry major and an English major. They or-der drinks and talk about what they will do when they graduate. “I’m going to start a company!” says

the business major. “I’m going to get my Ph.D!” says the chemistry major. The English major, mean-while, catches the eye of the bartender and asks “Hey, you guys have an application I could fill out?”

Students earning a degree in English may feel this way about their future sometimes. Recit-ing 17th-century poetry and analyzing iambic

pentameter will impress your professor, but may leave potential employers underwhelmed. So where do English majors go after college?

“The short answer is they go a lot of differ-ent places,” said Wil-liam Rossi, director of undergraduate studies in the English department. “We’ve had students build careers in teaching, business, law, journalism,

administration and the sciences, to name a few.”

According to the department’s official “Program Assessment Plan,” the goal for English majors at the University is to learn “critical read-ing, writing and thinking” skills and to acquire a broad education in the liberal arts. This same versatility, however, and resulting lack of job-re-lated skills can make job

hunting difficult for even the most dogged English grad.

English student Alex Fus is a junior in the Clark Honors College

and has been a declared major since her freshman year. She’s confident in her choice.

Drew TerhuneHow were you different or stuck out from the crowd?

I have some significant experience working on multicultural, socially just environments. In college, I was the student coor-dinator for opportunity and outreach in Under-graduate Studies. In that position we reached out to area youth who were Latino or Chicano. That was actually a super cool job and I would love to do it again.

How can other students learn from your example?

I think that the people who have helped me so

far have cared about me and wanted success for me. Networks aren’t just for getting you the job offer, they’re for getting you in the door, getting the application, getting tips for when there are openings. Stay in contact with your network. It’s just mutually beneficial to help people who want to help you. If I hadn’t had positive relationships with my mentors who got me this position I’d probably be unemployed or underemployed right now.

Do you think students should start to develop networks in school?

Yes, I think that a uni-versity is uniquely suited to be that place. Every-one here at some level cares about students. They want you to be successful. Also, I got lots

of different experiences. I worked on underrepre-sented student recruit-ment, taught a FIG and wrote for the Daily Em-erald for a term; none of those things are related to any particular career track but they all add things to my portfolio and gave me skills to bring to an employer.

You’ve talked about networking pre-job and networking in the posi-tion. Could you explain the difference between them?

Personally, I don’t network well when I’m unemployed. I feel too desperate and think I’m not making a good impression. For me, net-working happens when I’m in a job. So when I have a job, I just try to show them my professional self in a way

that’s more social than employment-oriented. Also it’s important, I think, to do the same for others, particularly for people at my experience level. I’m technically their competition, but the mar-ket is so brutal that we’re helping each other.

What kind of methods

or tools do you use in networking?

I just talk. Also I use Twitter and LinkedIn, but not as much as I just talk to people. The medium sort of changes depend-ing on the person, but when I’m networking, I’m

The job market is rough.

Last year, over 53 percent of college students under 25 with bachelor degrees were unemployed or underem-ployed, according to a report by the Associated Press. How can college graduates compete in this economy? Three University alumni from the class of 2011, who have beaten the odds, have some advice.

Drew Terhune was hired as an Assistant Com-plex Director in Oregon University Housing. Rochelle Dobson works in Portland as a Brand Ambassador for KIND Healthy Snacks. And Heath Mitchell will be going to Mongolia for the Peace Corp in late May. Through a combination of persever-ance, networking and hard work, these college grads have beaten the national trend.

2. Each letter needs to

be unique to the posi-tion. Targeting your cover letter is as important as targeting the resume in getting an interview.

3. Don’t be cliched!

Employers probably read about hundreds of appli-cants wanting “challeng-ing and rewarding jobs” or jobs wherein they can “work with people.”

4. For every statement

you make, provide a reason, example or explanation.

5. In every cover letter

there should be three clear parts: an introduc-tory paragraph which explains your reason for contacting the employer, a body paragraph sug-gesting what is needed to accomplish a job and how your strengths match the job requirements, and a conclusive paragraph reiterating your interest in the opportunity. For more information, check out the University Career Center’s Resume and Cover Letter Guide at http://bit.ly/IO3axI (PDF).

interview tips

1. Don’t walk into an

interview without doing your research about the company.

2. Dress nicely. This

means a suit, white dress shirt, tie and dress shoes for men and a skirt and blazer for women in a subdued color with ap-propriate accessories — moderation is key. Make sure you’re well-groomed. It’s better to be on the safe side than to be under dressed.

3. Don’t forget your peo-

ple skills. Shake hands, make eye contact and smile. Remember to be enthusiastic and happy to be there.

4. If/when asked about

personal weaknesses, don’t make any “abso-lute” negative state-ments. Instead, be humble and acknowledge some sort of weakness that can, in a way, also be interpreted as a positive.

5.

At the end of the interview, reiterate your interest and establish a “path forward,” asking what to expect and when to expect to hear from them. Thank the inter-viewer, shake their hand and depart with the same smile you entered with.

Five tips on online portfolios

1. This is the most impor-

tant tip. Check in with a faculty member in your potential career field and ask them, “Is an online portfolio necessary?” Online portfolios are generally geared towards graduates planning to enter a creative industry.

2. Consider, what story

do you want to tell with this portfolio? What do you want the center focus to be? Portfolios aren’t one-size-fits-all.

3. Remember your audi-

ence. Web-based port-folios ought to be more visual and they should cater to visitors who don’t want to spend a lot of

time reading. Don’t post a 15-page paper.

4. How confident are

you? Different portfolio-making sites cater to different audiences. Some are “drag and drop” sites like weebly.com and some are geared for more creative people, like wordpress.com. Some sites cater to photographers like livebooks.com, and some, like livebooks, require users to buy their own domain. Other sites to consider are wix.com and cargocollective.com. Explore your options.

5. Lastly, if you are avoid-

ing job searching by mak-ing an online portfolio, you’ve got a problem.specialsections @dailyemerald.com

trying to be someone that someone else wants as a coworker or an employee. Nice and personable, but also talented and capable.

rochelle DobsonHow did you get where you are today?

Well, when I was in college, I knew I needed to be involved in things and get the upper hand against graduate stu-dents, so I made sure I was involved with

everything I could be. I had leadership roles in my sorority, held four in-ternships and worked two jobs during my time at school. I think in the long run that really helped give me an advantage, but I thought when I graduated people would be knocking down my door because of all I had done. That was not the case.

How were you proactive about getting hired?

I decided to sit down and make a list of all the companies I would like to

work for. I listed a bunch of them down and then got all the contacts of people I knew who knew people who knew people who worked at these companies. I set up infor-mational interviews with them. I always made sure I would say something along the lines of “I have this, this and this to offer the employer; what can you offer me?” It gave me an advantage.

How would you say networking led to your current employment?

You have to look at your resources and

realize people are mostly kind and helpful and they will try to help you if they can. You have to reach out and ask. Everyone can help each other in one way or another, and you just have to figure that out.

I had an interview with the marketing team at Whole Foods. I had a great interview, but she told me there were no positions available. However, she had been very impressed with my interview and asked my permission to send all my contact info to some

people she knew. And that led to where I am today.

What kinds of methods or tools do you use when you network?

When I was job search-ing I always tried to talk about the three qualities that make me who I am. I have high integrity, I’m innovative, and I’m

optimistic. Those are the three things I want people to know about me when I’m in an interview.

So you’re graduating. Congratulations! As a senior myself, about to end my four years at the University, I under-stand the excitement, the stress and the terror of graduating — parties, finals, moving out, getting a job, the works. It’s a pretty crazy time.

And on top of all of that, we have to worry about graduation announcements and visiting relatives. By this time, hotels

are probably booked June 15-19. You might have family members traveling across state lines to see you off, and even if it’s just your parents and siblings, you want to have a good time.

To make the celebration and merging of college life and family easy, here’s a basic guide of what to do and where to go when your relatives are in town. There’s enough stuff packed in this list to fill a weekend worth of time before commencement, so pick a few things and have fun. You deserve it.

Izakaya Meiji Company serves up a great mix of

authentic Japanese food and country-western whiskey.

The Sunday special is one burger, one bourbon and one beer all for $10.

Located at 345 Van Buren Street, the

restaurant is open 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. every

day, doesn’t take reservations, and is

21 and over after 10 p.m.

GRADUATION

36 hours in Eugene

Breakfast/BrunchIf you’re not a hotel’s-

complimentary-breakfast type of family, don’t worry. There are plenty of places in Eugene to take your parents or a large group of relatives out to brunch.

If sweet, hearty carbs are your food of choice, The Original Pancake House, located on 782 East Broadway, might be your best bet. It serves a variety of pancakes, everything from buttermilk and potato to Swedish and coconut. There are also waffles, omelets and more on the menu, so you can find something for everyone in your party. Open 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday and 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, the restaurant takes reservations before 9 a.m.

Studio One Cafe special-izes more in creative om-elets and egg creations. Try the Zorba, the Greek spe-cialty with tomato, onion, spinach, pesto, Kalamata olives and feta cheese with three scrambled eggs. Or go for the crab cakes, one of the eggs Benedicts or a great sandwich. Located at

1473 East 19th Ave., the restaurant is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and serves break-fast food all day.

Gifts/ShoppingWith family in for the

weekend (or even just Sunday before commence-ment), you know what that means: There are people who will buy you things. And you deserve it, as a soon-to-be college gradu-ate. So steer your relatives to these prime shopping spots.

Eugene’s Saturday Market is also a wonderful place to wander around with your relatives. At 8th Avenue and Oak Street in downtown Eugene, the market is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and it is full of artisan-made jewelry, deco-rations, clothing and more. There’s also the adjacent Farmers Market and a food-court area, so you can spend the whole morning and afternoon there, soak-ing up some great Eugene vibes and supporting the local economy.

Another nice shopping district is 5th Street Public

36 HoURS continued on page 15B


thEDUCkStOREThe Duck Store is the ideal place to stock up on University regalia. You probably won’t

live as close to a Duck Store ever again, so get your mom you buy you some T-shirts, your dad to get you that shot glass collection and some sweatpants, a jersey, and Shady Peeps. You have to rep your alma mater as alumni, right? It’s basically mandatory (at least, that’s the excuse you can give your parents).

hAYWARDFIELD

If sports are more your thing, peruse along 15th Avenue by Hayward Field and talk about the upcoming Olympic Trials to your relatives. Or make a leisurely walk to Autzen, crossing over the Willamette River, and enjoy the (hopefully) nice weather.

If you need something to do indoors, check out the John E. Jaqua Academic Center or the Ford Alumni Center and ask for a free tour. The architecture and design details of both buildings are a great way to show off the campus to visitors.

“I think studying English prepares you for life, no matter what you do after college,” Fus said. “I don’t know if being able to analyze iambic pentam-eter will get me a job, but the critical thinking skills I’ve gained will help me in any career.”

Expected fields for English majors used to include writing, editing, and teaching. However, as the job market chang-es, many look into less traditional fields such as the business sector. Here they can put their top-notch writing and analytical skills to use in areas like marketing, PR and sales.

Many English grads still seek out opportuni-ties to teach. Completion of a state certification program is usually a requirement to instruct in elementary and grade schools, while they’ll need

to complete a masters or PhD program to enter the world of higher education.

Professional degrees, especially law, are well suited to the enterpris-ing English major. Law schools put a premium on communication, critical reasoning and analysis, all areas in which English grads are taught to excel. What the English degree lacks in job training it makes up for in adaptability.

“The English degree can open up a lot of op-portunities for me,” Fus said. “It’s a little like the business major; it will open the door to a lot of different opportunities,

but won’t necessarily get my foot in the door.”

Though Fus appreci-ates the flexibility of her major, she has some particular goals in mind for where to go with it.

“Ideally I’d like to get into publishing. I’d love to be a literary editor,” she said.

Such intrepid English majors face many chal-lenges after college, but with their sophisticated writing abilities and a boundless knowledge of literary trivia, they stand as good a chance of mak-ing it as any other major. And there’s always that bartending gig to fall back [email protected]

Things10You Will Miss

COLLEGE LIFE

With graduation just around the corner, it seems like time to look back at what really made us Ducks. Some memories are good, some not so much, but all of them together are what made for one heck of an experience. In case you don’t remember it all, here are the top 10 things you will miss, and won’t miss, about attending the University.

12345678910

Watching the Duck do push-ups — he made scoring a touchdown even more exciting.

The social norm that it’s OK to drink excessively — once you graduate it’s just called alcoholism.

Late-night Dough Co. deliveries — it takes forever, but man is it delicious.

Having your friends all live within a few blocks — you hardly ever have to drive around here.

Staying up all night partying — it’s not like you can sleep through everyone else partying, anyway.

Having breaks every few months — unless you are becoming a teacher, get ready to work year-round.

Getting student discounts — we won’t catch another break like that until we are senior citizens.

Closing time at Max’s — “Sweet Caroline” will never be the same.

Standing in the student section at football games — if you are anywhere else, standing just blocks people’s view.

Being a Duck fan that actually goes to Oregon — at least we can always say we did.

alex mcdougall photo editorIt’s not an Oregon football touchdown until The Duck completes his (or her, really, who knows?) signature pushups. As a graduate, it’ll be a lot harder to see those pushups in person.

GRAD

While I was flipping burgers at a university near my house, my mother was traveling around the East Coast for some sightseeing and visiting with distant relatives. As it turns out, my grandmother’s cousin’s son just so happens to work in international affairs. Know-ing that I was interested in this field, my mother asked him about intern-ships or other opportunities he knew of. Three months later, I was working for him.

How can other students learn from your example?

Take a piece of paper, and list out categories such as: family, friends of the family, friends, UO, religious community, hometown, past intern-ships/jobs, etc. Then list as many people under these headings as you can. These people are your network, you will be asking them about opportunities, asking for letters of recommenda-tion, and generally putting the bug in their ear that you are on the market.

Do you think students should start to develop networks in school?

Yes, undoubtedly. Try to

make meaningful connec-tions with advisers and professors in the fields you are interested in. Peers can help too, but seeing as most of your peers will be busy looking for jobs themselves, while in school it’s best to focus on connec-tions with people who are

already established in your field(s) of interest.

Could you explain the difference between networking pre-job and networking in the position?

Pre-job networking is

field you are interested in.”HEATH MITCHELL

With graduation just around the corner, many students are wondering and worrying about what their next move will be. While there are jobs out there for soon-to-be graduates, there are also many majors with high unemployment rates. Do not be discouraged, however; there are still many potential roads to be taken — you are getting a degree after all!

Below, three soon-to-be and recent graduates with the three majors of the highest unemployment sound off about their future prospects.

Top 10 Majors wiTh The highesT uneMployMenT raTe:

Clinical Psychology —

Ashley Nyquist, a 22-year-old 2012 gradu-ate of clinical psychology, has a plan for her future. “I’m planning on attend-ing more school,” she said. “I’m going to go to graduate school at Pa-cific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. I realize that I can’t do much with just a psychology degree, so I’m going to get my teaching degree and become a grade-school teacher. The program I’m enrolled in is about 14 months long.”

Miscellaneous Fine Arts —

22 year-old Univer-sity senior and soon-to-be graduate Cynthia

Johnson, who is majoring in jewelry making within the arts department, said that after graduation she wants to slowly build her own home studio and one day own a gallery to mar-ket and promote fellow artists. “In the immediate future, I want to do event management, partially with the arts,” she said, “and then see where it takes me.”

History —

Alex Graven, a 22-year-old recent graduate from the University, majored in United States history and is planning on attend-ing law school next fall. “Right now the plan is to attend law school — if I don’t like it I might switch

to some other graduate school,” he said. “But in general I’ll definitely be attending more school. The plan for now is to go to Lewis and Clark in the fall.”

The general consensus seems to be to continue on with education in some form or another. Whether you’re going to grad school, a specialized program, law school or other, more school never hurts. For those of you who are not planning on attending school right away, there are many other options including internships, jobs, vol-unteer work, travel and much more.specialsections @dailyemerald.com

GRADCOLLEGE LIFE

mason trinca freelance photographerCrappy campus coffee and cramming — two aspects of undergraduate life that you will surely not miss. You also won’t have to buy expensive textbooks that you never even crack open, saving you money that you can then spend paying off your student loans.

Two-hour PowerPoint presentations — also known to many of our classmates as nap time.

Campus espresso — let’s be honest, it’s not the best thing we’ve ever tasted.

Sharing a laundry room — good riddance to people moving my clothes for me.

Math 111 — one of the most-failed classes, and when do we really use math, anyway?

Staying up all night studying — we cram as much as possible only to forget it all right after the test.

Not being able to register for classes you need — you would think having senior status would be more effective.

Buying expensive textbooks and then not needing to use them — talk about money down the drain.

Trying to get from Agate Hall to McKenzie in 10 minutes — you can do it, but you won’t miss it.

The canvassers at 13th and University — it seems we’ve all mastered the “maybe they will leave me alone if I pretend to be texting” maneuver.

Blackboard — you would think the professors would actually know how to use it by now.

Campus Area Tour

For something

inexpensive and fun to do, take your family on a walk-ing “tour” of campus and the surrounding area.

Point out your favor-ite spots and enjoy the

beautiful landscaping of the University.

If you’re a fan of “Animal House,” be sure to stop by the EMU Fishbowl and Johnson Hall. And if you

want to impress, drop this

nugget of knowledge: the

Pioneer sculpture, located

between Friendly and Fen-

ton, faces directly across

from the Pioneer Mother,

located between Hendricks

and Susan Campbell Hall.

Johnson Hall may divide

the two bronze sculptures,

If you have a more outdoors-inclined fam-ily, show off the great spots of Eugene. Take them hiking on Spencer’s Butte and enjoy the view.

what you do to get yourself planted in a position; it’s the metaphorical act of digging a hole and set-tling yourself in it. Once you are settled, you have to put down roots, and that is the second kind of network-ing. Once you are planted,

it’s time to start growing; you have nowhere to go but up.

What kind of methods or tools do you use in networking?

I would call friends and family about possible op-portunities. I would email people who I thought might know of opportuni-ties in the future every few

months with an update as to what I was doing with my life while looking for jobs. People will forget about you if you don’t remind them that you are there. Phones, emails and postcards, if you go somewhere exciting, are my personal weapons of [email protected]


but they provide a nice mir-roring effect.

An outdoorsy family will relish a hike up Spencer Butte (which is easy to get to in your parents’ car).

Dinner

Located at 898 Pearl St., Cafe Zenon is an interna-tional bistro that serves dishes from around the world in a casual, family-friendly setting. Dinner entrees are priced around $20, and popular menu items include the vegetar-ian squash enchiladas and the herbed lamb loin with pea and carrot risotto. The restaurant takes reserva-tions and has a happy hour Friday from 5 to 6:30 p.m.

Taking your parents to Beppe and Gianni’s Trat-toria, located across the street from Prince Puckler’s

on 19th Avenue, is another treat you shouldn’t pass up. Starting the meal with the roasted garlic, warm bread and cambozola cheese ap-petizer and a bottle of wine will set the right celebratory mood. Then you can enjoy a range of soups, salads, pas-tas or meat dishes. Open Friday and Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m. and Sundays 5 to 9 p.m., the restaurant takes reservations for parties of eight or more.

Belly is a restaurant that will impress anyone from out of town. Its new location on 30 East Broadway is in the center of downtown (and close to Voodoo Doughnut). It serves rustic European farmhouse food with a rotating seasonal menu. Open Friday and Saturday 5 to 10 p.m., the restaurant allows reserva-tions for parties of four or more early in the evening

(so plan ahead).

Places to Grab a Drink with Your Parents

You can bring your parents to the campus bars if you want, though that merging of University night life with family might be a little too much for some. However, there are some great spots around town to grab a drink with your parents (hey, you’re 21 now. Enjoy it!)

Esquire magazine ranked Sam Bond’s Garage as one of the best bars in America. Located at 407 Blair Street in the Whiteaker District, Sam Bond’s has that rustic Eugene flavor we all know and love — right down to the Mason jars used to serve drinks. So grab a wooden seat and enjoy the live music, whether it be folk, rock or jazz.
