The Rose-Hulman Alumni Association, in cooperation with the career services office, has launched a new job search/networking tool that will benefit our alumni. Rose–Hulman alumni in the job market can now take advantage of the free web-based service called Experience Alumni. Alumni can access the site at the following web address http://www.rose-hulman.edu/careerservices/alumni.htm The Rose-Hulman link will take you to the Experience Alumni site where you can post profile information, network with other Rose-Hulman graduates and search available job opportunities. “The program raises our career help for alumni to the level of what other leading colleges are doing,” said Brian Dyer, director of alumni affairs and special events. “It makes it easier and quicker for alumni to network, and is one of the most up-to-date services available.” Kevin Hewerdine, director of career services, said there are several advantages offered by a site like this. “Alumni who are in a position to help hire at their present employer will easily be able to view profile information of other Rose-Hulman graduates and initiate contact with them about opportunities they have available,” he explained. Employers also will be able to search the site for Rose graduates and initiate direct contact with them. Hewerdine said the ability for employers to search specifically for Rose Hulman graduates will be available in March of 2005. “We will market this site to our entire employer database and I know it will be frequently visited by employers searching for well qualified, experienced Rose-Hulman alumni,” he said. The site already has more than two hundred profiles of Rose-Hulman graduates, and the number grows every day. “In the past, about all we could do for our alumni was provide lists of alumni in certain areas and post jobs that did not specifically help individual needs,” Dyer said. “The Web-based approach is quick, current, and allows alumni to cast a broader net in their job search while making use of Rose-Hulman contacts.” For more information, contact Brian Dyer at (812) 877-8359 or via e-mail at brian.dyerl@rose-hulman.edu.
