Alumni Services
WPI’s Career Development Center can assist alumni in search of job opportunities and career development support. From individual assessment to help in developing effective search tools the CDC is eager to serve WPI alumni at every stage of their career development. In addition to workshops and group programs, the following career-related services are available to alumni:
One-on-One Assistance
The CDC staff is available to meet with you to discuss your career-related issues. Appointments are available in person or via phone during normal business hours (8:30 am-5:00 pm). Please contact us directly to make an appointment at 508-831-5260 or cdc@wpi.edu.
Job Finder: Online Job Postings Just for WPI Candidates
CDC offers alumni lifetime access to Job Finder, our robust database that provides job postings from employers specifically seeking WPI candidates for their positions. You may also post your resume for immediate employer review and electronic distribution.

Critiques: Resumes, Cover Letters, CV’s and Personal Statement
Alumni wishing to have their resume, cover letter, CV, or Personal Statement critiqued may do so via personal appointment, email, or phone.
Resume Referral: The “One Click” Advantage Working 3 Ways
The CDC electronically stores resumes of alumni in our Job Finder database. Employers can directly access alumni resumes through Job Finder upon request once they post a position. One click and you can also forward your resume directly to an employer whose position seems like an ideal fit. Or, one click and the CDC can refer your resume to an employer and notify you via e-mail that your resume has been sent.
Database Search
Career Search Database is a tool located on Job Finder listing over 4 million employers worldwide. You may search available positions by a variety of criteria including industry, geographic location (as narrowly defined as zip code), or size (e.g., revenue-based, employee-count). Staff members are eager to show you Career Search and how it can help in your search efforts.
Reciprocity
For alumni wishing to use career resources at other colleges, we will write a letter to the college’s CDC Director asking them to assist you and offering to extend this same service to their alumni.
