Things you will learn in this episode:

* Keep in mind that you don’t have to graduate to list yourself as an alumnus at a particular college or university. Just make sure that you tell people in your profile that you only attended but didn’t graduate, as you don’t want to represent that you graduated from somewhere where you didn’t. — Bob Woods

* Leveraging your school’s Alumni page on LinkedIn is a powerful way to gain access to companies you are looking to prospect. Reach out with a quick note asking for insights and guidance. If there is a personal connection between you and certain alumni, they may even make introductions to decision makers and influencers. — Brynne Tillman
