Want to take advantage of some of LinkedIn’s new features? Here’s how to…
Demonstrate your progress inside a company
- Just add each of your titles (e.g., Investment Analyst, Investment Associate) as a separate entry in your Experience section

Search LinkedIn’s employee directory for any company
- Search for and select a company in the main search bar (e.g., Google)
- Click the People tab in the left-hand menu
- Filter by location, school, function, and more (e.g., Google employees who work in LA, went to USC, and work on the marketing team)
Let recruiters know you’re interested in a job at their company
- Search for and select a company in the main search bar (e.g., BMW)
- Click the Jobs tab in the left-hand menu
- Click Create job alert
- Turn on the switch for “Let recruiters know you have created job alerts for their companies.”
Suggest a meet-up time and location when corresponding with LinkedIn contacts
- Click the Messaging icon in the upper right-hand corner
- Search for your desired contact
- Click the “+” button and select Location or Availability
Prepare for interviews
- Just follow these steps
- Note: This feature has not rolled out widely so may not be available to you yet – stay tuned!
