Using the Norwich Network
When you join the Norwich Network the first thing you’ll do is build your profile, which can also be linked with your Facebook or LinkedIn account. During this step you’ll add to your profile:
-
-
- Any degrees you’ve received outside of Norwich
- Your interests, profession, as well as clubs and activities you participated in while at NU. This will help you get connected with alumni and students with similar interests.
- Make sure you add a profile photo!
Then, start using the Norwich Network!
In the maroon strip at the top of the Norwich Network page (see directly below) is your Site Navigation. In the upper left you can see your notifications, messages, go to your profile, change your preferences, etc.
HOME: This is the screen you see above
NETWORK: This is where you can connect with alumni and students, and use filters to find people you want to connect with based on industries, interests, location and much more. This is where you can also connect with students and alumni who are seeking advice in a range of topics.
JOBS: Here is where you can post jobs that you’re hiring for or share a job opening that you know of. Or if you’re looking for alumni who are hiring, this is your place! There are two options to post:
-
-
- The upper blue button “Share Opportunity” allows you to post directly to this job’s board
- The lower blue button “Click here to post” lets you post on Norwich’s companion site Handshake, and will share the job with Norwich students, but also students at other colleges around the world.
- If you’re looking for a job, the listings at the top are the ones posted directly to the Norwich Network by our alumni.
GROUPS: Here you can join groups based on industry, region or various affinity/social identities
DISCUSSION: Join the conversation! This discussion forum is open to everyone to grow and collaborate
RESOURCES: Here is where you'll find the alumni-owned Business Directory. Need more guidance? This is where you’ll also find tutorials on how to use the Norwich Network, including getting started in being a mentor or mentee, basic user tips, and to submit feedback on the Norwich Network so we can continuously improve.
