Quick summary
LinkedIn does not display a dedicated industry field on most profiles, but you can identify someone's industry by reading their headline or browsing their experience section. This quick walkthrough shows exactly where to look on any LinkedIn profile page.
Steps
- Navigate to the person's LinkedIn profile page.
- Read their headline displayed directly below their profile name to infer their industry (for example, a headline of "nurse" indicates the healthcare industry).
- Alternatively, scroll down to their experience section and view their current job to determine their industry.
