W&J Career Resource Network
Career Services, in conjunction with the Offices of the President, Alumni Relations and IT Services, launch theW&J Career Resource Network ! This searchable Web site contains contact information for over 100 W&J alumni willing to serve either as a career resource or provide internship opportunities to current W&J students.

Alumni are among the best sources for networking and guidance in your chosen career path, and many times can help you land your dream job. Not quite sure how to approach alumni regarding career opportunities? The Office of Career Services is available to answer your questions and provide guidance on taking this next step.

We recommend that you use our Networking Overview Guide  (also available in the racks outside our office located on the Lower Level of Rossin) to review helpful "dos and don'ts" for effective networking. Networking is about building and maintaining long-term relationships with others, because the truth is - companies want to hire who they know.

An updated resume is suggested for this process and may be required for internships. Please contact Career Services (724-229-5126) with any questions about site content. You will need to use your W&J network username and password to access the new W&J Career Resource Network. Please contact the ITS Help Desk (724-223-6022) if you have any difficulty accessing the site.
