How to view other people’s LinkedIn profiles anonymously
  • Go to Settings & Privacy -> How others see your LinkedIn activity -> Profile viewing options -> Change to Anonymous LinkedIn Member
Changing Active Status
  • Go to Settings & Privacy -> How others see your LinkedIn activity -> Manage active status -> change to None

Urls

  • Recent activity: /in/the_user_name/detail/recent-activity/shares/
  • in/the_user/detail/recent-activity/posts(or shares)
Add People

Sometimes we want to add people, such as managers from same company.


People Also Viewed

  • People Also Viewed usually shows other people from same company, we can use it to explore and add similar people.
  • But when we reach the limit, Linkedin will blur the name and description, we can’t click to that user’s profile
  • We can click the user’s image, inspect the element, and find alt="the_user_name" then google search it.
  • engineer manager at the_company hiring
  • Explore People Also Viewed
  • Check the user’s connection
  • in/the_user/detail/recent-activity/

Add a note

  • Add a note when we send an invitation, include why you want to add him/her: looking for a job and interested in your team, you experience etc.

The problem: Upgrade to Premium to continue searching

Sometimes when we are looking for new opportunities, we may use Linkedin a lot in a short time. You may reach its limit for free user, and ask us to upgrade to Premium to continue searching.

  • Use Google search
    • site:linkedin.com/in engineer manager at the_company

Articles vs. Posts
