  1. LinkedIn search

  2. Personal network
    1. Having conversations about career development with your friends can be extremely helpful! Maybe they know a Bentley alum that they worked with at an internship or on-campus organization. They might even be able to put you in contact with that person!
  3. Internal company directory
    1. You should definitely leverage every resource that your company gives you—including some sort of company directory. This might be in the form of a company-wide internal messaging system. Maybe you are interested in a vacant position and a fellow Bentley alum that works on a team; this can be a great way to connect!
