Would you be thrilled if I invited you to a networking event with a roomful of fellow alumni who are directly in your target audience?

Well, I can do better than that. You can stay in your jammies and still have direct access to all of those valuable fellow alums—and it’s free!

All you have to do is access the LinkedIn Alumni Tab on the University Page.

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. In the large search box on your top toolbar, type the name of the school you’re interested in. When it shows up in the drop-down list, choose that entry—or you can just click the name of a school on anyone’s profile.

2. Once you’re on the university’s page, click the Alumni tab. This will take you to that school’s Alumni page.

3. You can now filter the entire list by entering words in the Search alumni by title, keyword or company box, entering years in the Start year and End year boxes, or selecting or entering information into one or more of these six columnar filters:

    • Where they live
    • Where they work
    • What they do
    • What they studied
    • What they are skilled at
    • How you are connected

If you are looking for a person from a certain age group or years of experience, use the Start year or End year filters on the top right to find alumni who are probably in that age range. Granted, it isn’t exactly an age search because not everyone gets an undergrad degree at age 22, but it should still provide some valuable information.

4. Once you have selected your filters on the Alumni page by clicking the bars under your desired selections, LinkedIn displays a mini profile for everyone who meets your filtering criteria.

Without leaving the page, you can send a message to any first-degree connections or use a personalized message to invite anyone on the list to join your network. As part of your personalized invitation, you can begin a conversation about your products or services, an upcoming event, a job opening you’re trying to fill–literally anything that might persuade the person to accept your invitation and engage with you.
