Add People
Sometimes we want to add people, such as managers from same company.
People Also Viewed
People Also Viewedusually 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.
Search
- engineer manager at the_company hiring

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.
