<![CDATA[This study examines the relationship between interpersonal communication and alumni employment opportunities in the digital era through the perspective of Social Network Theory. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 127 alumni of Boyolali University who graduated in 2025, selected through purposive sampling from a population of 173 alumni. Data were collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression in SPSS. The results indicate a positive and statistically significant relationship between interpersonal communication and alumni employment opportunities, with a regression coefficient of 0.145 (t = 16.933; p < 0.001). The correlation coefficient of 0.846 indicates a very strong relationship, while the coefficient of determination of 0.716 shows that the model explains 71.6% of the variation in employment opportunity scores. From the perspective of Social Network Theory, these findings suggest that interpersonal communication is relevant to understanding alumni access to information and professional opportunities through social relationships. However, the social network mechanism was not directly tested in this study. Therefore, the findings should be interpreted within the limitations of the measurements and sample characteristics. This study highlights the importance of developing interpersonal communication as one of the factors supporting alumni transitions into the labor market in the digital era.]]>
