LinkedIn Job Search Strategies

Connect With Alumni Reaching out and connecting with alumni is another great engagement strategy on LinkedIn. They may be able to provide insight, suggestions, or information about how they came into their career.  Be strategic in your approach to connect and learn from alumni or professionals in your industry  of interest. 

To find alumni, search for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Once on the University's LinkedIn page, select "Alumni" which will allow you to search alumni members by title, keyword, or company, between graduation years you enter. Read alumni profiles to learn more about career paths and to find individuals for informational interviews.  To learn how to make the most of an informational interview, check out the Ask For Advice, Not A Job section.
