What is the CareerNet for?
The CareerNet is a networking tool for
UConn alumni and students. Wherever you are in your career you can tap
into the vast array of expertise and experience of UConn's graduates.
Learn more about an industry, a company, a relocation destination, and
more. Students or alumni may view and contact other alumni who have
volunteered to share their expertise.

I already signed up as a mentor through my school/college. Am I already a mentor in the CareerNet?
If you completed your CareerNet profile
through the Business Alumni Network, then yes, you are
available in the Husky Alumni Network's CareerNet.
Otherwise, any participant in other
mentoring programs that you may have signed up for previously is not
automatically included in the CareerNet. The CareerNet is an
opt-in system, so any new user wishing to share their advice and
experience must complete their CareerNet profile in order to be
included in the system.

search, view, bookmark, and contact you.

Can I deactivate my profile?
Yes, you can deactivate your CareerNet
profile easily and for any period of time by changing your Profile
Status to Inactive. Changing your profile status allows you to manage
your participation in the network. Active status means other users can
review your profile and contact you. Inactive profiles are not erased
or deleted from the system, they simply cannot be viewed by other
users. That is, your profile will not come up in any networking search.
If you decide to opt out until a specific
date, you will be automatically reinstated at that time. You may also
opt out indefinitely by selecting "until further notice", in which case
your profile will remain suspended until you choose to make it active.
If you are going on an extended vacation, or if other circumstances
prohibit you from staying involved, deactivating your profile would be
an appropriate option for you.
To change your Profile Status, log in and click on 'My Profile' at the top of the page. Click on Update next to Profile Status.
Your information is not lost or deleted when
you de-activate your account. Your information is simply not viewable
to other users. It is saved and will be viewable again when you
re-activate your account.
