Excellent advice (and templates) for students and recent grads eager to explore career paths via LinkedIn
Analytics Intern at SIG | IBM Accelerate '24 | MLT CP ‘26 | GHC ‘24 Kamala Scholar | Marketing Student at Virginia Commonwealth University
How to Utilize LinkedIn in Undergrad (Especially from a Non-Target School!) If you're a student looking to break into competitive fields from a non-target school like me, LinkedIn can be a great asset. Here's how I’ve used it to secure opportunities that many think are out of reach. 1. Networking 💬 It’s the most obvious answer, but it works! In today’s market, many people land opportunities through who they know, not just what they know. LinkedIn is a powerful way to connect with hiring managers and professionals, especially if you lack a strong alumni pipeline. Many are eager to help if you show genuine interest. Here’s my go-to message template for connecting with hiring managers: “Hi [Name], I’m [Name], a [Major] student at [University], and I’m really inspired by your work at [Company]. I’d love to connect to learn more about your role and any advice you have for someone looking to pursue a similar path.” 2. Early-Career Programs ☀️ Wondering how students get into programs like MLT, SEO, or IBM Accelerate? LinkedIn is often where they first hear about them! These programs help students land early-career roles at top companies. As someone who completed the IBM Accelerate program, I used LinkedIn to connect with participants and professionals who shared invaluable insights. Early connections = early access to career-defining opportunities. 3. Alumni Connections 👫🏽 Alumni connections can be a game-changer. LinkedIn’s search features let you to find alumni at your dream companies. I’ve used it to connect with graduates at Google and Microsoft—people I wouldn’t have known existed otherwise! Here’s the general message I send when reaching out to alumni: “Hi [Name], I'm [Name], a [Major] student at [University]. I see you’ve had great success at [Company], and I’d love to hear about your career progression and any advice you might have for a fellow [Mascot]” Many alumni are more than happy to help once you make the connection. 4. Building a Personal Brand 💁🏽♀️ More companies ask for your LinkedIn profile during job applications LinkedIn is now your personal brand. It’s where recruiters get a fuller picture of who you are beyond your resume. I’ve started sharing my journey, focusing on the unique path I’ve taken as a non-target school student navigating big opportunities. Start building your brand today! 5. Finding Jobs/Internships ✅ Finally, LinkedIn is still one of the best places to find jobs & internships. In a tough job market, having a referral can make all the difference. Networking with alumni and industry professionals is crucial. I also recommend following pages like Taylor Falls and Jade Walters who focus on sharing job opportunities for students and early-career seekers. At the end of the day, LinkedIn is a TOOL. If you’re a student from a non-target school, USE IT to break through the barriers and reach opportunities you never thought possible. You Got This! #earlycareer #2025internships #nontarget #LinkedIncreator
