In this video,
we'll cover adding people to your network,
writing a post, searching for jobs,
and sending private messages.
We will show you how LinkedIn works on the iPhone app,
but it works similarly on desktop.
Use the clickable sections below
to skip to features of LinkedIn
that you're most interested in.
To add someone to your network,
type their name into the search bar.
If you don't know their name,
you can also search by other descriptors,
such as their job title, company name, or location,
and then tap "People"
and then the filters icon
to continue to narrow down the type of person
you're looking to connect with.
When you find them, you can either tap the plus icon
or go to their profile and tap "Connect."
The person that you connect with will receive a notification
and either accept or deny your request.
To create a post to share with your network,
tap the "Post" button here.
Then, in the "What do you want to talk about?" field,
type the text that you want to post.
You can also add a photo, video,
or a poll to your post.
You can tap the "Anyone" icon
to specify who should be able to see your post.
You can choose between "Anyone," "Connections Only,"
or "Group members" only.
To search for a job on LinkedIn,
tap "Jobs" in the bottom right-hand corner.
Tap the "Search jobs" field at the top
and type in the type of job that you're looking for.
You can also specify the desired location
of where you want the job to be.
LinkedIn will show you a collection of job posts
that fit your criteria.
You can further filter these posts
by the date they were posted,
the experience level required,
the name of the company, and more.
You can also toggle the
"Get job alerts for this search" option at the bottom
if you want to receive a notification
when new jobs are posted on LinkedIn
that match the job's criteria.
LinkedIn allows you to send a private message
to anyone that is a connection of yours.
To do this, search for their name,
tap on their profile, and then tap "Message."
Then you can write a message and tap "Send."
You can also find people in your network to message
by tapping the "My Network" icon,
tapping "Manage my network,"
and then tapping "Connections."
Here, you'll see a list of all your connections,
and you can tap the Message icon to send them a message.
You can also tap the magnifying glass
to search your connections by name,
and tap "Advanced" to search by more filters.
You can also tap the icon next to the magnifying glass
to sort your list of connections
by first name, last name,
or by how recently they've become a connection.
