CSF Career Advisory Network The Career Advisory Network (CAN) is a program that connects CSF Scholar alumni with industry leaders, influencers and other business professionals in the Boston area. CAN Mentors will serve as advisors and assist with career development. Assistance includes: • Career information, insight and advice • Resume review • Networking opportunities and personal referrals • Job-seeking strategies This program is a great opportunity to educate and support CSF scholar alumni about to embark on their careers. Alumni Mentors Mentors agree to… • Provide one-time career conversations to long-term mentoring relationships. • Volunteer to serve as a point of contact for other alumni and students for advice, networking, mentoring, and/or for experiential learning opportunities like informational interviews or job-shadowing • Serve as a “warm-call” instead of the dreaded cold-call! Alumni seeking Mentoring If you are seeking a mentor and would like to get involved in CSF’s CAN program, visit csfboston.org/CAN to see our list of professionals who are willing to provide mentoring and career assistance to fellow alumni. Once you have decided to contact one of CSF’s CAN Mentors, please contact Zach Creeden (zcreeden@csfboston.org) and he will provide an e-introduction. When contacting a mentor, be respectful and identify yourself as an alumnus/a. Also, be prepared in your knowledge of the advisor’s career field and business. Do your research! *Remember that this is not a job application, or to set up an interview, it is simply mentoring in a field that you are passionate about, and to gain an insight and advice on a career.

Congratulations on such a wonderful achievement. Be proud of your
accomplishment. I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors.
I recommend reading anything written by Thomas Sowell. But in the end,
learn to think for yourself.
My favorite motivational quote that I’ve recently heard is, “Compare yourself

to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.” I think we all
have times where we wish we were just like someone else or had what others had.
That’s really not important in life. Being happy with ourselves and knowing
we’ve improved from who were is much more satisfying in the end.
