Step 3.
Set up LinkedIn (optional)
LinkedIn is the leading
professional networking system. The
HPAA operates an optional HP Alumni group on LinkedIn. (For
more information on LinkedIn and HPAA networking, click
here.)
Yahoo and LinkedIn are separate
industry-standard services. Each requires a separate login.
Please use the same email address for all of your HPAA
memberships.
Our volunteers can't add you to the HP
Alumni group on LinkedIn – you have to make a request
through the LinkedIn system.
If you have a profile on LinkedIn,
follow these two steps:
-
Go to your account on
LinkedIn. Check "Email Addresses"
under
"Account & Settings" to
be sure that the email address you use
for your HPAA membership is shown as a
primary or secondary address on your
LinkedIn account. Be sure that the
address is marked "Confirmed" by
LinkedIn. (LinkedIn does not make your secondary
email address visible to anyone – it is used only to synchronize
memberships.)
-
Go to the
HP Alumni page on LinkedIn and click
the "Join this group" button. Please
note that it can take a day or two for the separate LinkedIn and Yahoo
systems to get synchronized.
If you do not have a profile on LinkedIn,
you can go to the
HP Alumni page on LinkedIn
and join LinkedIn at no charge. Please
note that it can take a day or two
for the separate LinkedIn and Yahoo
systems to get synchronized.
What happens next? The HP Alumni logo will
appear on your LinkedIn Profile.
