Build contacts by networking!

Networking is a way in which you actively seek out jobs through contacts with friends, family, and professionals. It is a great way to make valuable connections with other professionals to assist you in finding a mentor, job lead, or even a job!

Alumni Mentoring Program
Apply to participate in the Drury University AMP. If selected, students will have the opportunity to associate with specially selected Drury University Alumni in a program tailored to enrich the career development of each student.

Networking and Informational Interviews
Keep in mind that many available jobs are never advertised. They are filled through personal contacts, or what is known as "the hidden job market." According to results from our Annual Graduate Survey, graduates reported obtaining jobs through family/friends and networking more than any other method. Once you have your objective, they key is to reach the person who has the authority to hire. Networking is all about utilizing and developing contacts and performing informational interviewing.
