Career Networking

The Career Network is a program sponsored and funded by the Alumnae Association with significant help from the College and the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Career Development Office (CDO). The Career Network is entering its ninth year and our goal continues to be to create a program which serves the needs of BMC alumnae in all stages of their careers.

Career Networking Services

Alumnae Career Counselor
John Tuton is a professional career counselor at the Career Development Office. He specializes in helping alumnae/i with all aspects of their job searches and is available for phone consultations to review your resume and provide other career advice. There is no charge for his services which are available to all alumnae/i. Contact John Tuton (jtuton@brynmawr.edu) to set up a phone consultation.

Local Career Development Representatives
Eight cities across the country currently have CDRs. The CDRs plan local programs and serve as a link to local career resources. Most events are "Bi-Co-" events with Haverford and may be networking receptions, speaker events, or panels. Contact your local rep for information.

Alumnae/i Networking
The Alumnae Association is pleased to provide an On-line Directory to aid in your career investigations. The directory is password protected. If you do not already have a User ID and Password, please contact Megan Ward (mward@brynmawr.edu). The newly enhanced search features for the directory allow you to query by: name, class year, geographical location, company name, industry and occupation. The On-Line Directory only contains career information on those alumnae that have granted their permission. Please contact John Tuton (jtuton@brynmawr.edu) for additional support.

Toview the many on-line resources linked through the Career Development Office, go to the CDO Alumnae Portal. Certain online resources will require the use of a password. You will be prompted to request an Access Code which will then reveal these passwords.

To post a job or internship for alumnae or students go to the CDO Employer Portal.
