New Career Tools for Alumni

Alumni Career Services launches two new online resume databases to help alumni with their career goals. The On-Rampers Database helps alumnI connect with employers specifically interested in professionals re-entering the workforce. The Board of Directors Database helps connect alumni with executive search firms seeking to place board candidates.

These tools, exclusive to HBS alumni, allow easy resume posting and creation of a profile from which organizations can search for candidates. See these and other services developed by Alumni Career Services at:
