How to Use DukeConnect

DukeConnect is a searchable database of Duke University alumni from various career fields and geographic locations who have volunteered to share their knowledge and expertise about particular career fields with interested students and fellow alumni.

Alumni have indicated a willingness to assist students with some or all of the following options:

• Career advising: Provide advice and consultation via email, phone, or in person.
• Choosing a major: Help students with questions about exploring majors.
• Employer information: Provide information about their current/previous employers.
• Interview coaching: Provide interviewing tips for students/alumni.
• Networking: Assist students with resume referral, job leads, and/or contacts for internships, summer jobs, and entry-level positions.
• Regional information: Share information about their city or geographic area as it pertains to their career field.
• Resume critiques: Provide helpful feedback about students'/alumni resume.

• Enter DukeConnect using your Net ID number as your username and your Duke Unique ID as your password.
• All students/alumni must complete the brief registration profile

• View only, without obtaining contact information:
  Search for alumni career examples by major, career field and more. This can be especially helpful for viewing career examples according to your major, a major or minor you are considering, or for doing preliminary research, even if you are not currently interested in contacting alumni. There are no monthly limits on searches, but there are limits on obtaining contact information.
• Obtaining contact information and monthly limits:
  After obtaining alumni search results and viewing details, you have the option of clicking for contact information. You are limited to obtaining contact information on 10 alumni per month and each alum is limited to 10 student contacts per month. Clicking for alumni contact information will count towards these monthly limits. Contacts limits are in place so that alumni are not overburdened with requests.
• Hidden Contact Information:
  Alumni contact information will not be viewable if the alum has reached the maximum number of contacts or by alum's request. Contact alumnicareer@daa.duke.edu if you need assistance.

• Before clicking for contact information, be certain that you intend to contact that alum within one month, as obtaining this information will count towards your monthly maximum of 10 alumni contacts.
• Business and/or home contact information will be provided, along with the alums' preferred contact method. Always use preferred contact method, if stated.
• If no contact info is viewable, the alum has either reached that month's maximum contact quota or has requested that the information be hidden. Check back next month or make an appointment with your career counselor.

• Despite attempts to maintain updated data, alumni contact information changes frequently. Please email alumnicareer@daa.duke.edu to report outdated information and updates.
