Online Career Resources

Online Career Resources is a service created by The Alumni Council Careers Committee for Princeton University alumni.
In our efforts to support alumni career and professional development we aim to:

  • develop enthusiasm for careers and professional development activities through regional associations, and to assist these associations in developing the structure to implement comprehensive regional careers programs;
  • provide alumni with electronic access to career and professional development activities and resources;
  • publicize career and professional development activities and resources provided by The Alumni Council, The Office of Career Services, and regional associations.

Contact The Office of Career Services, 201 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542, 609-258-5752, recruit@Princeton.EDU for information on their services for alumni.

  • Alumni Careers Network Online

      • The Alumni Careers Network (ACN) is an on-line database of Princeton alumni who have volunteered to provide career-related advice and assistance to Princeton students and fellow alumni.

Career-Networking Online Discussion Group

Our inaugural service is a TigerNet online discussion group: career-networking. We invite alumni as well as members of the campus community to join in a worldwide discussion of issues, questions, problems, and opportunities concerning career and professional development.

How does the career-networking discussion group work?
With a very basic knowledge of how to send and receive email, Princetonians subscribe free of charge to a TigerNet discussion group in the form of a mailing list. Subscribers to the list exchange their questions and comments via email. Your email message about career development issues goes to all career-networking list subscribers and all messages to the list are delivered to your emailbox. You don' t need to be a computer expert! Find everything you need to know to join career-networking in TigerNet Discussion Groups. Alumni who wish to subscribe to the career-networking mailing list must be registered in the TigerNet Directory.

If you've never subscribed to a mailing list before, please know you are welcome to subscribe and just "listen in" on the discussion. All messages to the list will go to you even if you don't participate. Of course, we hope you'll join in the discussion when you're ready, comfortable and have questions or comments for the group.

What are the topics for discussion?
Mailing lists are just conversations that occur online. So, the topics of discussion are determined by the participants. Any questions and comments on the subject of career development, of interest to the group, are encouraged.

For example: What's the current job market for economists in Chicago? I'm thinking about a career change: anyone recently opened a bed and breakfast in New England? My firm is looking for summer interns - any interest out there? I'd like to work in new media. Any advice on how I might re-package my skills?

Charlie Kohl '72 (ckohl@alumni.Princeton.EDU), and Marney Sigler '96 (mnsigler@alumni.Princeton.EDU), are the career-networking mailing list "caretakers." They will be available to the discussion at hand, and can offer helpful suggestions and advice.

How do I subscribe to the career-networking mailing list?
To subscribe, send an email message from the Internet account where you would like to receive the mail. Address a message to: 

     listproc@lists.princeton.edu

The message should read 

    subscribe career-networking your name


For example, if your name is Jane Doe, you would type

     subscribe career-networking jane doe


Include no other information in your message.

Email addresses of TigerNet Directory registrants and faculty, staff and students from a Princeton.EDU domain will be added to the list. Alumni must be TigerNet Directory registrants. (If you are an alumnus and have not yet registered your email address in the TigerNet Directory, you may do so here.)

You will receive a confirmation of your subscription as well as important information on how to use the mailing list and commands you will need to know to contact the list administrator. Please save this message for future reference.
