Connect with alumni and parents virtually during winter break for individual career conversations through the Gordon Career Center's annual WesLink program. Learn about participating alumni (LINK) and apply now to gain first-hand insight into various industries, positions, and organizations from alumni who've been in your shoes. Discover how alumni leverage their Wesleyan education, explore a wide breadth of career options, practice your professional communication skills, and develop meaningful relationships to help guide your career development and decision-making.

WesLinks are designed to be individual career-focused conversations between current students and alumni. Conversations will be approximately one hour and will take place virtually between January 8th-19th, 2024 on a day/time set and agreed upon by the host and the selected student.  

WesLink is open to students of all class years and majors and no prior knowledge or experience is required. 

About the Opportunity, Application, & Selection Process:

Review the full listing of WesLink alumni (LINK).  Apply to this post with your approved resume and complete the Microsoft Form application, selecting a minimum of 3 and maximum of 10 individual alumni you are interested in meeting with by Friday, December 1st at 11:59pm. Note that the resume you apply to this posting with will be shared with the alumni you are linked to during the program. You may be selected for and take part in multiple WesLink meetings. You will be notified about the status of your applications in mid-December. 

You must have your resume approved on Handshake by the Gordon Career Center in order to apply. The resume review and approval process can take several business days, so it's best to get a head start if your resume has not yet been approved on Handshake. Refer to the GCC's resume review process and resources in the resources section on Handshake and schedule an appointment to work on your resume with a Peer Career Advisor or for additional assistance.
