The program consists of a database of SU alumni (close to 900) who have
volunteered to share their career experiences and advice with students and
other alumni. All of these alums asked to be put into this database because
they want to talk to you about their career fields and organizations--they
want to offer you insider advice about your own career. These individuals
have diverse academic backgrounds and represent many industries, career
fields, job functions, and job locations. Alumni can act as a resource in
many ways, including the following examples:
Provide
company information
Outline
job duties
Indicate
employment trends (profession or industry)
Suggest
job search strategies
Critique
your resume
Set-up
a job shadowing appointment
Give
networking tips
Furnish
relocation information
This program benefits students with personalized information when you
have a defined need for information, want validation of an idea, or require
feedback. Some students may utilize the Mentor Network to explore industries
and possible career interests, while those with clearly defined career
interests might utilize the program to explore specific companies, job
functions and for professional networking. You may also seek the Mentor's
input on assignments or major projects.
