Tufts Career Network for students
Networking—interviewing for information and building contacts—will introduce
you to people and possibilities that may lead to an internship or job. Your
network is not only the people you know; it’s the people they know!

The Tufts Career Network is a tool for
students and alumni seeking career related information, insight, and advice.
Members of the Network – alumni, parents, and friends – have agreed to share
information about their careers, educational backgrounds, organizations, and job
search techniques. Please read the
guidelines and policies before
logging in.
Please note: No form of soliciting, however worthy the cause, is
an acceptable use of this database.
To access, you must log in to WebCenter. You will be asked for your student ID number and SIS PIN.
General Networking Resources
Some key points about
networking:
- 75-80% of
all job seekers find their positions through referrals.
- Networking can be used to gather
information about graduate school or majors.
- Networking contacts can include personal
contacts, professional contacts, and other people with whom you have some
affiliation, such as Tufts alumni.
- Prepare for your networking encounters -
both planned and spontaneous - to increase your chances of success.
- Be strategic. Be ready to respond to
questions like "How are you?" or "What have you been up to?"
in 30 seconds.
- If someone asks you "Tell me a little
about yourself," be prepared with a 2-minute pitch summarizing your
education, key strengths/accomplishments (how they relate to an employer),
and your career goals.
