Enter the job title in the Title box.

You can use the drop-down menu under the Title field to select whether to view the listings by Current & Past, Current, or Past. If you don’t select a method, LinkedIn will automatically search Current & Past titles by default.

(Optional) Select at least one Industry from the list provided, so your search results are relevant to the job title search.

After all, a Project Manager in Construction is completely different from a Project Manager in Computer Software.

You can actually select multiple industries from the list.

Click the Search button to see your results.

You see a set of results that match your job title request. You can always use the Modify Your Search text box to the left of the screen to add more information and get a highly targeted list.
