AfterCollege has just released a new beta feature into production called "Answers" and we'd like to invite a select number of employers to participate as early adopters.

In a nutshell, it's a way for employers to get their employees signed up on AfterCollege as alumni and answer students' questions relating to your company, your industry, or anything career-related. It's a great way for employers to stay visible on campus and strengthen ties with academic departments and groups at a time when they may not be hiring. At the same time, interacting with alumni from their alma mater gives students an opportunity to prepare for industry once opportunities start opening up.

This is a free service while in beta. We have an ambitious goal to build traction at all of our 6,700 career networks by having students and alumni interacting with each other through trusted, private networks based on their academic affiliations.

If you're interested in participating, let us know by contacting sales@aftercollege.com (again, this is a free service while in beta). You can also get started by following these steps:

1) Tell employees/alumni from your company to go to www.aftercollege.com
2) Have them locate their school, then join their department or group career network(s)
3) Have them update their profile and select your company as their current employer
3) They can sign up and answer relevant questions from students as they arise
(when asked "Are you currently looking for a job?", choose "No")

Note: Every time an alum answers a question, their name and your company name appear next to the answer. As your organization drives more employee participation to the AfterCollege career networks at their alma maters, your organization will gain visibility as an "Industry Mentor" and as an "Employer of Members" at those programs.
