ONA Weekly #396: ONA Career Day Is March 31

Just in: ONA Career Day is March 31

Save the date Thursday, March 31 to join us for ONA Career Day — an all-virtual event. More than 200 people joined our career event to kickstart last year’s annual conference. We are excited to build on that experience with a standalone event earlier in the year dedicated to career development. Career Day will feature learning and networking sessions; drop-in office hours with recruiters, fellowship directors and graduate school leaders; one-on-one conversations and the opportunity to share your resume for critique. 

We will announce more details in the coming weeks! Complete the Career Day interest form to receive a notification when registration opens. If you are a recruiter for journalism jobs, higher education or fellowship opportunities, contact Jessica Strelitz, jessica@journalists.org, to learn about ways to get involved.
