A one-on-one appointment with an advisor can help you develop a [Job Search](https://cdo.business.rice.edu/resources/job-search/) plan that’s suited to your career goals. Visit [12twenty](https://mba-rice.12twenty.com/Login) to make an appointment.
As a Rice Business student, you have access to thousands of alumni who work in different industries across the globe. Tapping into this network – through online platforms or coffee chats – is critical to your career success.
Although networking often does result in job opportunities, the point is not to simply use others to find jobs. It is a lifelong process of expanding your sphere of influence, helping others, and receiving help in return. The resources found on this page will guide you through the full cycle of job and internship search as well as networking, from creating the perfect pitch to ramping up your online profiles.
