I was search by position title or the company that you are interested in
applying the job to use the other filters such as location to view a more
targeted set of connections there you go now you know how to search for your
first degree connection tip number four messaging I have received a lot of
individual asking me how do I reach out to potential employers here are some of
my recommendation about the first impression so you wanted to appear to be
personable a very warm message warm and concise message in time our first degree
are individuals that we haven't worked with in years sometime is friends of a
friend or someone that you've met in a networking event but you don't really
have a relationship with so when you message those individual you have to
keep in mind to add a little personal touch

doing in your entire career so don't make anything up filter the
companies and choose the ones that you'd like to apply to okay there we have it I
