Alumni can post job openings on the discussion board for Wake Forest alumni to view. We highly recommend that you read over this information on hiring alumni, which includes the best places to share your job openings for alumni (and students) and what information to include with your postings in LinkedIn alumni groups. Career Advice is a new feature that connects members across LinkedIn with one another for lightweight mentorship opportunities. Here’s a helpful article that outlines the platform further. ProFinder is another LinkedIn tool that allows you to search for professional career coaches.
