Amherst Career Network

The Amherst Career Network connects you, the student, with alumni/ae who are eager and willing to share their experiences and expertise. They can provide very specific information on particular careers and career paths and/or offer general career advice.

The type of guidance will vary with each individual: for example, some will offer informational interviews, others might offer a shadowing opportunity. While internships and specific job opportunities may arise naturally from your encounters, the Amherst Career Network is NOT intended as a job search tool.
