The Willamette University Alumni Career Network can help you:

  • search for jobs
  • navigate a career transition
  • find your first job
  • build your network and
  • hire great people to join your organization.

Career Network programming is focused on proving alumni tangible services to open doors well after graduation. We devote significant time and energy to younger alumni looking to put their liberal arts education to work, but we serve graduates of any class year. We also benefit from wonderful alumni volunteers, many of whom are seasoned professionals willing to share their expertise and connections.
