Denison Career Network
You'll be amazed at how supportive Denison alumni are in sharing their advice and expertise! The Denison University Career Network is a resource of alumni that helps students and other alumni with career related information and advice. Networking information can be exchanged regarding careers, educational backgrounds, organizations, and other career interests.
How Denison Career Network works:
- Alumni who would like to share their experience and advice can log in to www.denison.edu/careernetwork using the "D number" that appears above their name on the Denison Magazine mailing label.
- Create a profile which includes information such as professional achievements, interests, and activities.
- Once your profile is completed, you will be able to network with alumni and current students.
HOW TO CONTACT ALUMNI
Students can contact alumni by sending a letter or emailing them if email is available. You won't see the alum's email address (there is a pop us window where you can type in the message) and submit the email to the alum. If the alum responds via email back to you, only then will you see the alum's email address. This is called a blind email system.
If a Business Phone Number is listed, you may call and leave a brief, professional, message introducing yourself and the reason you are calling the alum.
Do not call alums repeatedly or weekly. If the alum wishes to return your phone call, they will!
SUGGESTED QUESTIONS TO ASK ALUMNI
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PERSON'S POSITION AND CAREER:
How did you become interested in your field?
What are your major responsibilities?
What do you like and dislike about your work?
Do you work independently or with other people?
Does your work allow you to have the amount and type of leisure time you desire?
What is a typical work day like for you?
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE OCCUPATIONAL FIELD:
What are the entry-level positions in your field? Salary range?
What background (education, training, experience) is required?
What related jobs are available in your field?
What is the occupational outlook for the field?
Is there more than one way to prepare for this occupation?
Can you suggest the names of other people with whom I could speak?
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:
How would you describe the organizational structure?
How would you describe the working environment?
What are the major pros and cons in working with this particular organization?
For complete instructions, review the FAQ section on the Denison Career Network site.

You might be asking, ‘What do I do?’ ‘What do I say?’ ‘What do I wear?’ ‘What if none of the participating schools or employers are of interest to me?’
Develop a 10-15 second ‘elevator pitch’ that introduces you to potential employers and graduate schools; your name, major, interests, and experiences that are relevant to your listener.
Bring several copies of your updated resume.
Dress to impress. This is your chance to make a great first impression!
Even if none of the participants are of interest to you, you should still attend to practice your introduction, learn about opportunities you may have never considered and get comfortable networking with professionals.
The representatives desire to talk with Denison students; they’ve chosen to spend their day with us, take advantage of the opportunity.
