Alumni Resources
Whether you just graduated, or are more advanced in your career journey, the Center for Career Engagement is still here for you.
Coaching Appointments
As an alumni you have access to a career coach, for life! Book an appointment with a career coach to talk about your career journey and your next steps. A coach can walk alongside you, offer resume reviews, mock interviews, consider grad schools and pivots, get you connected with other alums and resources and give you the support and confidence you need to take your next steps.
(For troubleshooting, you may need to contact WashU IT for a wustl/washu key)
Resources
These resources will help you get connected to a career coach, employers and to fellow alumni.
Handshake
Use Handshake to book coaching appointments, apply for jobs, and see events. (Note: MBA and Olin alumni use 12Twenty@WashU to book coaching appointments). If you did not previously have a handshake account, you can create on with your Washu email.
Find alumni and new connections on Linkedin! Consider joining the WashU Alumni group, and any school groups you may have been a part of (ie: Olin, McKelvey, Brown School, etc).
Also discover your Regional WashU Alumni Network.
