It is an undoubted truth that LinkedIn provides numerous professional benefits, for both job-seekers and for recruiters. Networking is one of the most important factors to secure a job interview when you apply for a full-time job, particularly when the job market is becoming more and more competitive. And heck yes, not to mention the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to tremendous job cuts across companies and industries, raising the stakes of job hunting. Also, recruiters from companies have to compete aggressively against each other to attract the best stars.

Now, the big question is how can you stand out in the race? Probably the most popular way is contacting the employees from your dream company, scheduling an introduction talk with them, and building close relationships over time. An alternative way is connecting with your college alumni. Trust us, the college connection between you is a really powerful force that you would like to utilize, and the alumni are happy to help you too. To recruiters, the answer is not different. They need to actively reach out to potential candidates as well.

To better serve you in reaching out and establishing connections with company employees, college alumni, and promising candidates, Linked Booster has developed a highly effective automation tool, which saves you tons of time when you need to create an Excel sheet to store all valuable information you need.

So, the next steps you need to know are how to use LinkedBooster to automatically download all of your LinkedIn search results into an Excel spreadsheet. The process is very simple and only takes you a couple of minutes maximum.

1. First, type your school’s name into the search bar.
2. Choose People in the first filter. Then, choose New York, United States under the Location dropdown menu.
3. Type in the name of your dream company to see if there are any alumni working at that firm. For example, I would like to look for alumni working at Goldman Sachs in the NYC office.
4. If you are not sure what companies you would like to apply to, no worries! You can make adjustments to have more advanced filters if you click All filters and customize your choices. For example, you can filter alumni by their past companies, by their graduate schools, or even by industry.
5. Now, hit the Reload again. Click Snatch found results on the right. Create the tag you want for the list. For instance, “Washington and Lee – Goldman Sachs – NYC” in this example. Hit Proceed.
