Jaspers Helping Jaspers

The alumni relations office and National Alumni Council have partnered with our center for career development to provide assistance with career advisory services (outlined Here). We encourage alumni to list openings and view job postings through career development’s affiliate, NACElink Here. It is especially important that we seek individuals who work in human resources, career placement offices or as career coaches and would be available to support our alumni. In this down economic time we need to do what we do best – help a Jasper! Those who are able to provide help with the job search process or seek career development assistance should e-mail careerdevelopment@manhattan.edu. Also, we invite you to join the Manhattan College alumni groups on LinkedIn and Facebook to connect with other Jaspers. As always, our events present a great way to network with alumni who can assist in your job search.
