LinkedIn PwC Alumni - Revised Instructions
Here are the updated instructions for joining the PwC Alumni group on LinkedIn as of early 2008.
1. *** IMPORTANT *** If you did not previously work for PwC, PW, or C&L, you are not eligible for the group. This includes all of the recruiters who regularly request group access and are denied. Please don't click the link if you didn't work for the firm.
Assuming you worked at the company, click on this link. You will now be listed in the system as having a pending membership to the group.
2. Make sure your PwC work experience is on your LinkedIn profile and is visible. Some people have elected to keep it private which is fine, but you definitely need to send me an email if I can't see PwC somwhere on your profile.
3. Send me an e-mail to rjb .a.t. robertjbrown .d0t. com. You will have to manually insert the @ and the . in my address - otherwise spammers will find me. Mention that you wish to join the group and also provide the name of the partner you worked with most frequently.
It will take anywhere from a day to a few weeks to approve membership to the group. The volume of requests has grown from a few per week to close to 20 per day. There are over 600 group members as of this post and it is becoming a very valuable resource for reaching out to former colleagues.
