NEED INSPIRATION? HERE'S WHAT OTHERS LIKE YOU HAVE ASKED.

“Hello alumni. My name is Paul, and I’m graduating in a few months. I really
like my history major, but I am considering a career in finance.

What specific skills or experiences should I focus on developing?

Thanks much!”

“Hello everyone, I’m Helen. I’m currently exploring career options with my BA in
Mathematics and could really use some guidance.

Can you share your experiences or suggest potential career paths that align with
my degree?”

“Hi, I’m Jayden. After 15 years in banking, I’m eager to embark on a new journey
in marketing.

What initial steps should I take to transition successfully? Any advice from
individuals who’ve made a similar switch would be invaluable.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT CAN I ASK?
Literally anything to help with your academic or professional development. There
are thousands of alumni, faculty, staff, and friends that can help with class
projects, building and growing a startup, or figuring out career options.

WHAT’S A GOOD QUESTION?
Think of your question as an advertisement. Share who you are, what you are
doing, and what you need help with. Keep it short and sweet. Here’s a short
video on how to craft a great question that will get you results and help build
your network.

WHO WILL SEE MY QUESTION?
We send your request to the best alumni, faculty, and staff in your area of
interest.

CAN I REQUEST SOMEONE SPECIFIC?
No. We make our matches based on availability, proximity, experience, and
skills.

CAN I ASK A FOLLOW-UP QUESTION?
Yes, of course! Once we make a match you’ll have direct, one-to-one
communication and can ask additional questions.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET A ANSWER?
Our goal is to get you answers within three business days. But it depends on
what you’re asking. It can go as quickly as an hour to as long as 10 days or
more.

WILL MY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BE CONFIDENTIAL?
Your question will not be made public. It will be seen only by matched experts
and a handful of administrators.

IS THERE A LIMIT TO HOW OFTEN I CAN ASK?
No. You can ask as many questions as you would like. In fact, we encourage it as
this is the simplest way for you to build your professional network.

The mentors were so insightful! One hopped on a video call and shared a lot of
valuable feedback, while pushing me to think outside the box. I am going to meet
with another soon. They are investing so much time and effort in connecting me
with incredible resources and people. They are really going above and beyond to
leverage their networks. It means the world!
Jeyashree H.CLASS OF ’20
I was really impressed with how easy it was to get in contact with alumni. I
just had to submit a question and I heard back from multiple alumni within days.
Super easy and helpful! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. It’s quite awesome
to see just how large our community is, and really encouraging to see how
willing alumni are to help out current students.

Definitely recommend.
Riley H.CLASS OF ’23
After submitting my question, within a day I had multiple alumni offering me
help and guidance. Several of whom were more than willing to connect with me on
LinkedIn and review my resume for tips and editing suggestions. Perhaps the best
part about my experience is that it did more than help with the simple question
I asked. I believe it played a large role in helping me land my Co-op position.

The process took all of about 5 minutes to submit my question and I received so
much great feedback from different alumni.
