Search Tips

The Professional Network is easy to use. You may search by major, career field, or industry to find the right person to talk to. Try searching several different ways or broadening your search--don't limit yourself!

Examples

  • If you are majoring in engineering, math or computer science, it may seem logical to contact people who also majored in these areas. However, you may want to try searching by the "search by industry" only to find people working in various fields connected to these majors.

  • If you are looking for a career in advertising, try looking up people who majored in advertising, communication studies or marketing.

  • If you are majoring in the arts, and not sure what to do with your degree, try looking for people who majored in various disciplines like English, humanities, art, philosophy or foreign languages for different ideas.

  • If you are interested in a career in business, try searching by those who majored in this field; then, try looking for those working in various aspects of business. You may also want to search for people who majored in areas such as communication studies, English, or social science. They may be working in interesting areas of business now.
