Yale Career Network

Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Toolbox — for alumni and students

A grant from the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Foundation makes possible this enhancement of the Career Network for alumni of the Graduate School. The Toolbox, designed especially for Ph.D.'s working in careers beyond the academy and for current students considering entering those career fields, contains two main features: listservs and tips.

Career Networking Listservs
Tips from Graduate School Alumni

Graduate School Career Networking Listservs

Graduate School Career Networking listservs are a tool for connecting with Yale Graduate School alumni for the purpose of discussing recent developments in an occupation or industry, seeking information or advice, or announcing career openings or needs.

There are five career networking listservs: Consulting, Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology Industry, Finance, Academic Administration and Education (other than college or university faculty), and Federal Government/ NGO/International.

Here you will find a community of Yale Graduate School alumni who are experienced and knowledgeable in their career field, just entering the job market or looking to build a network of associates.

To sign up for one or more listservs, click here.

The advice and helpful suggestions contained here range from formal articles to informal notes. We encourage Graduate School Alumni to submit information and tips that will assist their fellow alumni and current graduate students as they consider careers beyond the academy. We include here also a selection of articles by Mary Johnson, the director of Graduate Career Services.

If you would like to submit additional tips or reading lists along these lines, click here. Please send tips as plain text and not as attachments.
