Once students have made some initial decisions about the career fields they would like to explore, Williams College alumni can be excellent sources of information and connections. Our alumni are an enthusiastic group eager to help students learn the inside story.
All students now have full access to the power of the Williams network through the use of the new Williams College Career Network. Use the search engine to find alumni in a wide variety of industries and job functions all over the world. Explore the contact information for the nearly 25,000 records in this new database.
Guidelines for use can be found here: http://www.williams.edu/go/careers/emails.php and under 'Help & Guidelines' on the 'Career Network' page once you log in.
Also, while you're visiting the new Career Network, take a look at the new Alumni Directory and the Discussion Groups pages, and explore the possibilities. The Alumni Directory is useful for finding alums who share more than just the Williams connection and allow you to search by Extracurricular Activity and Sport; social networking at its finest.
The Discussion Groups get you involved in conversations around different career topics and/or geographic locations. There's a bunch of great new resources on this new site.
Ever wonder what happened to those who just graduated? The First Impressions database is a collection of data from recent classes on their first experience out of Williams. This database is accessible online at: http://www.williams.edu/go/careers/impressions.php.
