[quote=Anonymous]I don't agree with above PP - it really does depend on the school. When I came back to the US after a fellowship abroad my first two years out of Amherst (age 24), I cold emailed several older alums who worked in the field that I was interested in. I ended up talking over the phone and emailing with about 6-8 across the country, landed two interviews after my resume was passed along, and landed my first "real" and dream job. Really launched my career. These days you really have to have a contact within an organization help pull your resume out of the thousands of applications submitted online for each posting. Even a weaker connection - like alum you've never met vs. dear old family friend or frat brother - will help a tremendous amount in getting your foot in the door![/quote]
