Finding a Job in Eugene
Honest truth: Eugene’s unemployment rate is 7.6%, well above Oregon’s 5.4%, so good openings draw plenty of applicants. A few things help you stand out:
- Look past the biggest names. Health care and education employ nearly a third of residents, so those roles get crowded. Manufacturing and professional services firms can be easier to get noticed by.
- Consider remote or hybrid roles. If the local pay doesn’t match your experience, a remote role can let you keep Eugene’s lifestyle. The video below covers how to land one.
- Tailor every resume and prep every interview. Lead with results that match the job, and know the organization’s mission before you walk in. Our career advice library has more.
