Stetson Career Network

Stetson's Career Network is career network database for students, alumni, parents and friends of the Stetson community. To become apart of the network one must simply register. For students this can be the greatest tool provided by Career Services. It enables students to search for internship and job-opportunities, job shadowing and career mentoring. Once you are registered in the network you can search for alumni based on Location, Education, Industry and Mentoring. The Stetson family extends across the world and students learn that a Stetson education allows you to succeed in any region. Hey, Florida is great but the UVs are killing me, I need a job in Colorado pronto. Through the Network you can locate alumni who want to help you find a job in Colorado, alumni have registered with the network for a reason. Or if the snow is not your thing because you want to manage a golf course you can use the Industry feature to find whatever job you are interested in. The Industry section has job listings from Accounting to Writing. Maybe your like every other college student who has no idea what they want to do, just a direction that leads as far from Deland as the road will take them. This is where the Mentoring grouping can be vital. The Mentoring section has eight subgroups of alumni who want to help you with informational interviews, employment and internship opportunities, job shadowing, panel workshops, career mentoring, relocation, work and disabilities, and work and diversity. I clicked on Mentoring, employment/internship opportunity and there are ninety, once again 90 alumni who are want you to send them an email regarding their particular field's possiblity.

Look it is as easy as an email, asking questions will only increase your intelligence. So be wise and take the first step into your future. Let todays leaders help you find your path in the direction of tomorrow.
