Career Resources for Alumni: Home
Tip:
If you no longer live near one of the Miami campuses (Oxford, Middletown, Hamilton, or West Chester (Voice of America)), try going to a college or university library in your new location. Most universities will allow you to use their databases if you are physically on campus, whether you are affiliated with them or not. Public Libraries are also rich sources of career information and often have multiple databases, books, and workshops devoted to the topic. Usually all you need to do to get a library card is present a photo ID and proof of residence.
