International Affairs Virtual Career Networking Forum

Please join us for the second annual “International Affairs Virtual Networking Career Forum.”  Tuesday, October 27 through Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Co-sponsored by Tufts Career Services and the International Relations Program

What is a virtual career networking forum?

The virtual forum is a career exploration and networking opportunity designed to connect Tufts students with our alumni working in the broad field of international affairs both in the U.S. and abroad. Students will pose career-related questions to participating alumni, via an online forum, and alumni can then write brief responses at their convenience. These exchanges will create an ongoing dialogue between students and alumni.

Why should I participate?

The advantage of a virtual networking forum for our alumni is that this method of interacting with students involves no travel or time away from home and office and can be done anytime day or night. The clear benefit to the student is having access to the in-depth knowledge, experience and advice of our alumni.

What is expected of me?

By registering, you agree to be an active participant, login to the forum periodically throughout the three weeks, and respond to any questions relevant to your field. Some questions may be directed to specific alumni and others to all alumni.

How do I register?

Alumni who would like to participate must sign up through the online forum website at: https://webcenter.studentservices.tufts.edu/cs/international/ by OCTOBER 23, 2009 and follow the instructions below:

• Please click “Register” in the upper right corner of the screen and fill in the required information. You must create your own username and password.
• Fill in the required information, including a short bio. The bio should include information on your education (graduation year, major, graduate degree(s), etc.), current and past work experience including job titles and employers, interests, volunteer work, etc. We ask for this information so that students will know something about the employment and educational background of participating alumni and will then ask relevant questions.
• Hit “Submit” and you are finished for now!

What's next?

An email with further instructions and information will be sent to all registered alumni after October 23. Thank you for considering our invitation and we do hope you will join us. Please register today!
