Alumni/LinkedIn
We love hearing about what our students go on to achieve and we also value the opportunity to include them in our careers activity to inspire and raise aspiration.
We have set up a Careers and Alumni page on LinkedIn which is a great way to stay in touch and remain updated on what is happening at HGSS in careers. We are always keen for Alumni to volunteer their time to support students. Please follow us and reach out to us at:" https://www.linkedin.com/school/4008391/admin/page-posts/published/
How to join LinkedIn
We recommend you have a LinkedIn profile whether you are entering the job market or going to university because:
- LinkedIn helps you establish an online presence
- LinkedIn supplements (or even replaces) your CV. And by keeping all your career and educational qualifications up to date on here this will stay with you even when you change address and emails.
- You can use LinkedIn to apply directly for jobs
- LinkedIn lets you research prospective employers and find out about their business and current news activity
- LinkedIn helps you connect with alumni from Holmer Green Senior School and future education establishments you may attend. Basically it’s a great way to connect and stay in touch with your peers from school professionally rather than on a social network.

How to set yourself up
- Go to www.linkedin.com
- Click on [Join Now]. Students should do this at home using a personal e-mail address (there's no point signing up to LinkedIn with your Holmer 365 e-mail as you will not be able to continue to use this address when you have left school).
Enter your personal email address and create a password.
