Networking is essential, both for the job/internship search and to develop professionally in your career. Informational interviews are a type of networking where you are strategically exploring career possibilities. Contacting Humphrey alumni as part of your networking plan is a great way to learn more about a variety of public service careers. To develop these alumni contacts outside your own immediate circle:
- To get in touch with Humphrey Institute alumni, please make an appointment with Lynne Schuman (lschuman@umn.edu) or Martha Krohn (mkrohn@umn.edu). If you are outside the Twin Cities, we can work with you through email to find alumni contacts in your area.
- You can join the University of Minnesota Alumni Association (UMAA) and receive great membership benefits such as the use of the M Alumni Online directory. Both current students and alumni can enjoy the benefits of UMAA membership. To find out more, visit www.alumni.umn.edu.
- M Alumni Online is a wide ranging resource for career networking with University of Minnesota alumni worldwide. You can contact volunteer alumni career contacts to talk about their job experiences and get their advice. You may also post your resume, search for jobs, and take advantage of many other career resources through M Alumni Online. For additional information, visit www.alumniconnections.com/olc/pub/UMN/
