Did you know you can run a Boolean search on LinkedIn by combining keywords with some operators? What does that even mean? It means there are several operators {AND/OR/NOT, "" quotation marks, and ()parentheses} you can use to find exactly what you are looking for. ✳️ Searching for sales manager but not sales and marketing manager? ✳️ Searching for "digital strategist" only? ✳️ Searching for VP that is not "assistant to VP"?

LinkedIn will list
all the profiles that have
either one of these two
keywords

3. NOT
(e.g. Sales NOT Marketing)
LinkedIn will list profiles that
include the word sales but
exclude marketing

4. VS.
Quote marks
Type under quote marks
(e.g. "Digital Strategist") to

searches
To do a complex search,
you can combine terms
using parentheses.
For example, to find people
who have "VP" in their profiles,
but exclude "assistant to VP"
or SVPs, type
VP NOT (assistant OR SVP)
