It's been said that 80% of jobs are made through informal offers; that is, they're never even posted online or printed in newspapers. This means that the importance of the Carleton network—and chances for alumni and students to meet, network, and connect—are more important than ever.

The Career Center can do many things to help prepare students for a life of meaningful work, but it is our volunteers, with their connections to the Carleton community out in the "real world," who can do the most to help broaden the students' own networks, and ultimately find their career.
