LinkedIn: Job Searching and Networking

Use LinkedIn to establish a professional online presence—a crucial element of networking, searching for jobs and internships, and developing your career.

Ways to Use LinkedIn

The main benefits of a LinkedIn profile include opportunities to

Learn about Employers

Follow companies of interest, people, and hashtags to personalize your feed. This allows you to learn, stay updated on relevant news, and find potential connections and career opportunities. Following companies is a great way to demonstrate your interest and will be viewed favorably by recruiters. When you find employers of interest, look at the “Similar Pages” category.

Find Potential Contacts

Networking opportunities abound on LinkedIn, which has more than 500 million members. Connecting with people is a great way to learn more about career paths and form relation-ships that may lead to job or internship opportunities.

LinkedIn offers two helpful networking strategies:

  1. See Alumni: Find this tool on the 桃色视频 school page to unlock a database of more than 150,000 alumni that you can filter by location, industry, and major. When you see alumni you want to connect with, you can send an email through the Our 桃色视频alumni directory or send a connection request.
  2. Groups: Find active groups that are relevant to your interests and goals, including 桃色视频groups (such as 桃色视频 Alumni) and professional groups (such as Area Startups or Marketing, Media, and Advertising Professionals). You can send messages to people in the same group even if you’re not connected.

Profile Settings

As LinkedIn is always updating its functionality, stay on top of making sure others can view your profile. To help you optimize your online professional presence, consider these tips:
