Creating a Profile on LinkedIn and Searching On Home Page

Directions:

1. Create a profile on www.linkedIn.com.

2. Search for the name of a Fox School of Business Alumni (if you know who you are

looking for).

3. Once your profile is created; sign into LinkedIn.com

Using the ‘Find Alumni’ Feature After You Log Into LinkedIn

Directions:

1. Click on the tab called ‘Connections’, and select ‘Find Alumni’. This will bring you to a

new screen dedicated to finding Alumni.

2. Later on in this guide, we will further explore this ‘Search Box’ feature, but you can type

in the name of who you are looking for, or use Boolean Search strings in order to find

who you are looking for with key words. An example of a Boolean search string is:

“Fox School of Business” AND “New York City” AND “Actuarial Science”

Exploring the ‘Find Alumni’ Screen on LinkedIn

Directions:

1. This area has different tabs you can click: Home, Notables, Students and Alumni, and

Recommendations.

2. This is a search box that you can use to type in keywords of the types of Fox School of

Business Alumni you are looking for. You can also use Boolean Searching in this area.

3. You can use this drop down to choose between: ‘Attended’ or ‘Graduated’

4. You might have gone to more than one school (prior or after) attending the Fox School

of Business - you can use this drop down to toggle between the different schools

Student and Alumni networks.

5. Click ‘Show More’ to see a more expanded list of where Fox Alumni work, live, and do.

6. Click this arrow to search for Alumni by ‘What they studied’.

7. Click the ‘Search Magnify Glass’ to search for specific locations.

8. Click the ‘Search Magnify Glass’ to search for specific employers.

Using the LinkedIn ‘Search Box’ on the Main Home Page

Directions:

1. By default, when you search on LinkedIn it will search for everything on LinkedIn.com.

This is a good option if you are trying to perform general research and not necessarily a

targeted search. The ‘Search Box’ can also use Boolean Search logic for more target

searches.

2. This option will ONLY bring back search results for Profiles on all of LinkedIn. This can be

a targeted search method for finding Alumni who have the skills sets you are looking for.

Most likely you would have to use Boolean Search strings in order to Fox Alumni. An

example would be:

(“Fox School of Business” OR “Temple University”) AND “Philadelphia” AND “Accounting”

3. We have 1 Main Group: Fox School of Business Alumni Association, and 20 Subgroups.

However you can search for professional organizations or groups you’re interested in

joining. Some groups allow you to enter without having to be approved, and others are

exclusive. The Fox School of Business Alumni Association group is exclusive.

4. Posts are a way to search aggregated content on LinkedIn. When someone makes a

status update on their LinkedIn profile, or what LinkedIn refers to as a ‘Post’ you can

search this content. This is a good way to find ‘Influencers’.

5. ‘People’ and ‘Jobs’ have the ability to perform an ‘Advanced Search’. Screen shot

below:
