Start Your Contact List: Find Associations & Yale Connections

While your network naturally broadens during your Yale SOM job search and beyond, begin by cultivating relationships where common ground is readily found. Yale connections (including undergrad), professional associations, and affinity groups provide a comfortable starting point.

Yale Connections

Connections within the Yale ecosystem are always a great starting point for building contact lists. Yale SOM alumni, in particular, are receptive to outreach – just make sure to prepare by refining your message, clarifying your purpose, and researching the individual and their organization.

Professional & Affinity
