Find your next career opportunity at ONA22

By Jessica Strelitz  • 

Whether you’re a job seeker, career transitioner or academically-curious, there are plenty of ways for you to explore career opportunities at ONA22 — both in person and virtually! Several sessions and events are focused on career growth, plus we’ve got events and tools for you to connect with organizations and programs looking for fresh faces.

Connect virtually

Upload your resume to our portal: Recruiters, grad school program managers and fellowship directors participating at ONA22 are reviewing resumes and reaching out to potential candidates with more information. See our full sponsor list to learn more about who’ll receive your information. This resource is open to ALL members of the ONA community, including those not registered to attend, but only ONA22 official recruiters, education and fellowship leaders have access to the resumes.

Connect with recruiters via the ONA22 live event platform: More than two dozen organizations looking to fill roles have profiles on the ONA22 event platform — including several recruiters at ONA22 with virtual-only booths — where you’ll find information on openings, as well as contacts for more information and setting up interviews or conversations. You can also see who else is attending by browsing the attendee list or searching by title, job level, names or interests. All attendee profiles will have chat bubbles on them to facilitate asynchronous connections. More details will be shared with all ONA22 registered attendees about the live event platform and how to connect .  

Visit the ONA Career Center: This is a free resource open year-round to anyone in the industry — ONA membership not required.  Browse the latest openings and upload your resume for review. Recruiters: Want to list a role? Contact jessica@journalists.org.
