Applying to positions
posted on a website, for example, is immensely important, but a truly effective job search also involves outreach to
alumni, colleagues, and contacts within an
organization to learn more about a given industry or employer, so that we may better understand how our unique set of skills can be seen as a true fit.
When openings are
posted to LinkedIn, they are delivered directly to the individuals feed and provide information such as job requirements, expected duties, company description, and even how many
alumni work for the
organization.
