Linkedin Private Mode: How to Browse LinkedIn in private mode
3 min readLinkedIn private mode is a great way to search the web without having to type in large phrases and make long lists of searches. LinkedIn can be accessed in this manner as well, but LinkedIn has made it a bit harder by making it a bit more difficult to search through their large network of contacts. This mode is similar to what is known as search on LinkedIn but instead of typing in large phrases, you type in the name of whoever you are searching for. You can then start to search various groups, or if you are really lucky, you might find something that is relevant. Here is how to use LinkedIn private mode to your advantage.
In order to access the private mode of LinkedIn, click on the gear icon located at the top right-hand corner of the screen. On the left-hand side there is a gear that says search. Click on it and you will have a choice of different search types. When you have selected one, you will be taken to a new page where you can choose what kind of search you want to perform. If you search with the word customer, you will be given search results in the form of a matrix.
The matrix shows all of the people that linked with you. You can see all of the groups that they belong to and also the group that they are linked to you. Depending upon the group you are looking for, you might be able to find relevant results that are shown below the matrix. If not, you can move on to the next link under the search results. If you click on any of the links, you will be taken to the profile of the person that you are looking for.
When you go to profile, you will be shown a preview of the profile. This allows you to read the information about the person including contact information such as email address and phone number. If you click on the Bio section, you will get more information about the person. The only downfall with this LinkedIn feature is that when you do a search, it will pull up all of the profiles, even if you do not click on anything.
The other option that you have when you use LinkedIn is the private search feature. With this option, you type in keywords and you will be given a list of all of the profiles matching your search criteria. You can then read the personal information about the person. You can see their educational background, the type of jobs they hold, their employment history, and their work history. You can also see what their career goals are.
You can even go down to the specific page where you want to search for someone and click on the search tab. This way, you will get a detailed report on that person. By using these different options you will be able to view and discover the information you need with just a few clicks of your mouse.
