Key facts
- Search the education history on business profiles for the school or degree, then narrow by title, industry and place.
- When a shared school gives you a real reason to write, such as an alumni network, a local event or a program you both went through.
- Mention it once, plainly, and only if it is true for you too.
- Some profiles have full education history and some have none, so expect a smaller list than a title search.
When does an alumni search help?
When a shared school gives you a real reason to write, such as an alumni network, a local event or a program you both went through. It also helps when a degree marks the buyer, such as engineers or nurses in management roles.
How do I use it in the email?
Mention it once, plainly, and only if it is true for you too. Then get to why you are writing. A shared school gets you read. You still need a reason to write.

Only as complete as what people list. Some profiles have full education history and some have none, so expect a smaller list than a title search.
