Want a great answer?
Ask a great question.

Your question is matched with a select group of alumni based on their background—not the entire network—so context matters. The more detail you share, the better your match.

Tips for a strong question:

Share your background – Program, experience level, career interests, and location if relevant.

Be specific – Are you exploring careers, job searching, changing industries, or planning your next step?

Ask for advice, not placement – Seek insight and experience, not job referrals or open roles.

Think big picture – Career paths, skills, certifications, networking, and interview prep get the strongest responses.

Leave room for more alumni to respond – If your question is very specific, add a broader related question.

Avoid questions for WGU staff – For courses, assessments, financial services, or account access, contact WGU directly.

Strong questions often start like this:

“I’m studying software engineering and hope to pursue {role}. What helped you land your first…?”

“I’m interested in accounting but unsure whether to pursue tax, audit, or corporate. How did you choose…?”

“I’m changing careers into healthcare administration. What skills helped you make that transition…?”

Great questions lead to great conversations—and better answers.

“Hello everyone, I’m graduating with a degree in cybersecurity and would like feedback on current trends in the field that I should get experience or education in to make me a stronger job candidate. Your insights would be invaluable as I prepare to launch my career in cybersecurity. Thank you in advance for your advice!”

“Hi there, I’m looking to connect with alumni who are teaching in California as I’m contemplating a move to the state. I’d greatly appreciate learning about the current state of education there and any insights you can offer. Your experiences would help me make an informed decision. Thanks for your help!”

“Hello everyone, as I prepare for the CPA exam, I’m eager to connect with alumni who have navigated this process. I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips or tricks you might have for tackling the exam. Your insights would be greatly appreciated as I work towards this important milestone. Thank you for your support!”

I was really impressed with how easy it was to get in contact with alumni. I just had to submit a question and I heard back from multiple alumni within days. Super easy and helpful! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. It’s quite awesome to see just how large our community is, and really encouraging to see how willing alumni are to help out current students.

Definitely recommend.

After submitting my question, within a day I had multiple alumni offering me help and guidance. Several of whom were more than willing to connect with me on LinkedIn and review my resume for tips and editing suggestions. Perhaps the best part about my experience is that it did more than help with the simple question I asked. I believe it played a large role in helping me land my Co-op position.

The process took all of about 5 minutes to submit my question and I received so much great feedback from different alumni.

The mentors were so insightful! One hopped on a video call and shared a lot of valuable feedback, while pushing me to think outside the box. I am going to meet with another soon. They are investing so much time and effort in connecting me with incredible resources and people. They are really going above and beyond to leverage their networks. It means the world!
