http://petrafisher.com Very short step by step instruction for using the search option on LinkedIn. Shows you how to narrow the results from say 7000 to 700 and even less. This way you will find the professional you are looking for, without scrolling through 70 or more pages with results.

1. How to conduct a
LinkedIn Search & find
the right professional.
© Petra Fisher 20120215

2. •Type some keywords - for
example ‘linkedin coach’ -
in the searchbox.
•Make sure it is a ‘people’
search.
•Hit enter or click the
magnifying glass.

3. •By default the results are
sorted by relevance.
•This is not objective.
•Sort by keywords instead.

4. •So far I’ve got 7,611 results.
•Time to finetune the
results.
•I’ll filter the Locations for
‘Netherlands’ as that is
where I am currently
based.

5. •There, I’ve decimated the resulst
from 7,611 to 769.
•That’s still 77 pages to scroll
through though.
•You might want to apply another
filter to narrow your result.

6. ASK ME HOW…

...YOU too can appear on the
FIRST page of LinkedIn
search results...

7. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH!
