Networking, LinkedIn & Dartmouth Connect
Need help creating and expanding your network? The CPD has created a series of guides and an outreach template with sample questions. These resources will help you start reaching out to employers, alumni, and industry experts.
Dartmouth Connect is an online networking hub where Dartmouth alumni from around the world offer support to students at every stage of the career journey. Dartmouth Connect offers virtual networking, small group communities, and a growing library of career resources.
The CPD also provides resources (below, under Career Resources) that guide you on using LinkedIn. These resources include steps to creating your LinkedIn profile and learning how to maximize use of the platform. For more personalized guidance on networking, schedule an appointment with a CPD career coach.
The Leave-Term Internship Networking Database is a valuable resource for students seeking internship opportunities and guidance from their peers. This database allows users to explore where past students have interned, providing key details such as the student’s name, employer, location, and the term during which the internship took place. By showcasing a range of experiences across various industries and locations, the database serves as a starting point for students who are curious about potential career paths and internships. It also facilitates peer-to-peer connections, encouraging students to reach out to alumni of the database to network, ask questions, and learn more about specific roles or employers that may be of interest.
Updated in between terms, the database continues to grow with new insights and opportunities, ensuring it remains a relevant and up-to-date tool for current students. Whether you’re just beginning your career journey or looking to expand your professional network, the Leave-Term Networking Database offers a supportive community and a wealth of real-world internship experiences that can help guide your path forward.
