Huskies helping Huskies through the Career Network
Students need as much information as possible to make good career decisions, and the most inspiring advice often comes from the personal experiences of others. UConn's Career Network provides an opportunity for students, graduate students and alums to get career advice from alumni who have experience in areas that interest them.
Career Network mentors help others explore career options and give insight into some of the realities of the workplace. As a UConn alum, you have the opportunity to guide a student, graduate student or fellow alum in your field of expertise. You can review and offer tips on how to prepare an effective cover letter or resume, or work with a student to better prepare them to get on track for success.

- Log in or sign up for the Husky Alumni Network.
- Click Career Services on the left-hand side of the page, and then choose Career Network.
