Rutgers pilot

Warm alumni paths,
not cold referral asks.

01

Verify your school

Students join with their Rutgers .edu email so the network stays campus-specific, trusted, and relevant.

02

Build a referral-ready profile

Add your resume, target roles, projects, LinkedIn, GitHub, and what kind of help you need before applying.

03

Meet the right alumni

Get matched with Rutgers alumni who can offer resume reviews, coffee chats, mock interviews, or company advice.

04

Request referrals when ready

No spam. Referrals unlock only after a real relationship step and when an alum feels comfortable backing you.

The problem

Students do not need another job board. They need a way in.

Cold

Most students apply without a real connection, a warm intro, or feedback from someone inside the industry.

Late

Students often start networking when applications are already open, instead of building relationships months earlier.

Alone

State-school students have alumni networks, but they need a clearer system for turning advice into career traction.

What Entrnt is built for

"

I do not just need another place to search for internships. I need someone to tell me if my resume is actually ready before I apply.

Asking a stranger for a referral feels awkward. It would be better to build a relationship first and know when it is appropriate to ask.

Rutgers student · Early career track

"

I would help students, but I need a low-pressure way to review a few serious candidates without getting spammed for referrals.

For Rutgers alumni

Help students become
referable without becoming a referral machine.

1

Set your comfort level

Choose how you want to help: coffee chats, resume reviews, mock interviews, project feedback, or referral review.

2

Review verified Rutgers students

Students join with school email and submit a profile before reaching out, so you see context before accepting a request.

3

Give one useful signal

Mark a student as not ready, needs revision, resume-ready, interview-ready, referable, or strong referral candidate.

4

Refer only when comfortable

Entrnt protects alumni from spam by making referrals the outcome of a real interaction, not the first message.
