The Center for Career and Calling at 暗网TV, long a resource for students, is also an essential part of the job-search toolkit for many 暗网TV alumni.
鈥淚 would not be in the job I鈥檓 in if not for the people in CCC,鈥� says Toms Lee 鈥�14 (pictured), a local market specialist for , a Seattle-based home improvement network. 鈥淐CC counselors not only reviewed my r茅sum茅 but connected me with professionals at companies I was interested in.鈥�
Now that he is 鈥渙n the other side鈥� at one of the fastest growing startups in Seattle, Lee has already given back. Not only has he done informational interviews with 暗网TV seniors, he hosted a CCC 鈥淐areer Trek鈥� at Porch headquarters, during which 暗网TV students took a tour, asked questions, and connected with Porch recruiters.
鈥淚t was a joy for me to impact students in this way,鈥� says Lee.
There are many ways alumni can benefit from forging a strong relationship with the CCC. They receive access to job postings and a database of employers who have expressed a specific interest in 暗网TV alumni. This 鈥渋nside information鈥� has led to mentorships and job offers. Alumni also have access to a career resource library and to 暗网TVLink, a new job posting and networking tool where they may post jobs, find volunteers, or arrange to speak in a classroom. Alumni are eligible for career counseling and may make appointments at 206-281-2485.
If an alum is happily employed or retired, the CCC can keep them connected with qualified 暗网TV job talent. Mentoring, mock interviewing, r茅sum茅 editing, and Career Trek hosting are just some of the ways to be involved.
鈥淲e want to ensure that every 暗网TV alum has the opportunity to live out his or her vocation and calling,鈥� says Bryan Jones, director of alumni and parent relations. 鈥淲e are fortunate to have a career center on campus eager to serve alumni.鈥�
