Welcome Alumni

Career Services Policy on Alumni Services

While our primary mission is to serve current students, Career Services also makes its services available to alumni of Northeastern. Alumni are welcome to participate in Career Services events, workshops and career. Alumni have full access to HuskyCareerLink and other online tools available to students. Only On-Campus Recruiting, reserved for seniors, is off limits for alumni.

Alumni may make appointments with Career Services staff for help with career-related issues such as job search, career direction finding, career transitions or career management. Usually, a counselor and an alumnus/a meet two or three times, occasionally more. Because its staff resources are limited, Career Services has a 5 appointment maximum for alumni. Career Services will help an alumnus/a find other resources for further work on career issues as needed.

Career Transitions Are Challenging; Get The Help And Support You Need.

• Take time to reflect, explore and talk to people. It will pay off.
• If your current job is toxic, you need a new job, not necessarily a new career.
• Completing a career change usually brings relief, exhilaration and a sense of renewal. Along the way, be prepared for an emotional roller-coaster ride.
• Career changers almost always take a temporary step back economically as they enter a new field.
• Making a change is an option at any age; don’t assume you are too old to make a new beginning!

"The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created - first in mind and will - and next in activity.
The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination."- Anonymous
