Alumni Networks And The Job Market: Help Or Hindrance
Originally Published on Forbes.com
In his best-selling autobiography, Hillbilly Elegy, J.D. Vance describes the “mysterious forces” at work when he began interviewing for jobs while in Yale Law School:
“The week of interviews showed me that successful people are playing an entirely different game. They don’t flood the job market with resumes…They network. They email a friend to make sure their name gets the look it deserves. They have their uncles call old college buddies. They have their school’s career office set up interviews months in advance on their behalf. They have parents tell them how to dress, what to say, and whom to schmooze.”
