Quick Question About LinkedIn...

Nightengale · 05-08-2009, 07:28 PM

Hi Everyone,

Does LinkedIn allow you to search for people by industry?

I have yet to create a profile on LinkedIn, but they don't really allow you to see inside unless you have a profile. Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me. But I admit, I just did a quick look-see and didn't click around too much, so I could be wrong.

Thanks,
Michelle

Michelle,
they have a complete search system that will allow you to do this, plus filter by things like specific company. or location near you (or anywhere) etc. Just click on the 'People' item on the top left of the screen.
Best,
--Jack

ps - if anyone is interested in linking up - just send me an invite with a brief note that you're a fellow warrior.

Yes you can and it's an excellent and serious networking place

Thanks so much! That's exactly what I needed to know.

I'm putting some finishing touches on my web site now and will be creating a LinkedIn profile shortly.

Absolutely...don't forget about the "alumni" section.

Do join the various forums. In doing so you'll have the ability to contact people of interest within your forum by sending a free message instead of upgrading to send INmail's.
