alumni networking events
If you went to college, your school likely has an alumni association that is tasked with hosting networking events for you and your fellow graduates. Similar to non-career volunteering and networking events, alumni networking events expose you to professionals from different fields, but with similar interests. Alumni events are a great place to rekindle old memories, but they’re also an excellent way to discover new career opportunities that you may not have considered in the past.  Plus, your fellow alumni tend to be among the most generous in regards to helping you land a new job, so definitely don’t let those opportunities go to waste!
