LinkedIn can do wonders for a job search if utilized properly. One tool that could focus your network is the Boolean search. Here's an example of using one if you want to be a sports reporter:

• "Sports Reporter" (searches for profiles with only that job title)
• "Sports Journalist" OR "Sports Reporter" (finds profiles with either job title)
• "Sports Reporter" AND "Boston" (narrows to profiles with job title matching location)
• "Sports Reporter" NOT "ESPN" (excludes designated company from search results)
• "(NFL OR MLB OR NHL) AND Journalist" (includes specific leagues and profession)
