The Portland Career Fair will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 from 11am-3pm. The event will take place at Portland State University. 

To register (it's free for jobseekers), and for more details including schedule, directions, and a list of registered organizations, please go to: http://www.idealist.org/fairs and scroll down to click on "Portland".

Please note that not all organizations at the fair will have job openings on that day. Some will have jobs, while others will have internships and volunteer opportunities.  Our nonprofit career fairs are a place for everyone who wants to make a difference in the world (including recent undergraduate or grad school students, experienced nonprofit professionals, and those wishing to transition to a nonprofit career from other sectors) and we encourage you to consider the wide range of opportunities to move forward in your nonprofit career.

This year our national series of nonprofit career fairs is generously sponsored by NYU's Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service (http://wagner.nyu.edu) and also by Commongood Careers (http://www.commongoodcareers.com).

Don't forget to check out the Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers for First-time Job Seekers and The Idealist Guide to Nonprofit Careers for Sector Switchers which are both available to download for free at: http://www.idealist.org/en/career/guide/index.html

If you are interested in pursuing a career in social change, our grad fairs offer you the opportunity to explore how graduate education can help you. Check out our Portland grad fair on October 4th and the Seattle grad fair on October 7th http://www.idealist.org/gradfairs

We hope to see you at the fair!
