New to the Ntwork

[Jim Noia]

I am new to the network. I am serching for a designer for contemporary dresses in the Los Angeles CA area. Can someone help me with place to start? What is the best search engine to run the strings on?

Hi Jim,

Here is a couple variations of a LinkedIn X-ray search that you can try out to search All Profiles on LinkedIn. Just copy and paste this search directly into Google.

site:linkedin.com (inurl:in OR inurl:pub) (design OR designer) dresses "Greater Los Angeles Area" -intitle:directory

site:linkedin.com (inurl:in OR inurl:pub) (design OR designer) (contemporary OR modern) fashion "Greater Los Angeles Area" -intitle:directory

Hope this helps!

Jim,

You need to change -inurl:directory to -intitle:directory. Also you need to insert the following to bring back just profiles: (inurl:pub OR inurl:in)
