LinkedIn: Check your LinkedIn profile. During the HP breakup, HPE changed many decades-old HP positions to HPE. Traps: LinkedIn has been standardizing company names, with odd results. Recruiters view illogical entries -- such as HPE positions before 2015 -- as fake. You can emphasize or de-emphasize some of your background. Tricks and traps: hpalumni.org/LinkedIn

Timeless business
lessons from HP history. When
Dick Anderson retired at a Group GM in 1997, Chuck
Taubman remembered: "With my first presentation to Dick, just prior to
a scheduled B Checkpoint meeting I recommended to Dick that my
project be cancelled. That was a very scary thing for a young engineer
to do, but Dick accepted the recommendation and gave me positive
feedback."
Dick Anderson Memoir
More memoirs of HP people. Developed by John Minck. There
will be someone you knew, worked for, or are curious about.
