Managing Connections on LinkedIn
The easiest way to access a connection’s profile page on LinkedIn is to search for the particular person within the LinkedIn search bar.
Once on a particular connection’s profile page, you will notice that there is a lot of highlighted information at the top of the page. Some of this information includes the person’s current job and geographic location.
Slightly below the main section, there will be a section containing contact info for the particular user so you can find the best way to reach them.
As you scroll down the page, you will notice that the LinkedIn profile will look similar to a resume.
Reviewing others’ LinkedIn profiles is also a great way to learn new tips and tricks to make your profile look as polished as possible.
