(If you are not already a member of the HP Alumni Association: Join HPAA)

There are many ways to use the HPAA for personal and professional networking:

Join the HP Alumni group on LinkedIn. Available to full HPAA members (not available to Recruiter Members.)

• If you are not already a member of the HP Alumni Association, join the HPAA first.

• If you are a member of the HPAA, join the HP Alumni group on LinkedIn. 

Find a local or divisional alumni group. There are dozens of local and divisional HP alumni clubs, forums, and sites operated by groups independent of the HPAA. Some post jobs; some have events such as parties or picnics; some have discussion forums or email lists; some have regular meetups.

Join an HP-related network. There are forums, sites, and LinkedIn groups for many of HP's predecessor companies – such as Apollo, Bluestone, Compaq, Convex, DEC, Mercury, Tandem, VeriFone, etc.

List yourself in the Alumni Directory. Behind Yahoo Groups security; available only to HPAA members. Although you completed a questionnaire to join, you are not automatically added to the Alumni Directory; you control your information. So that other members can find you, please add yourself. 

Search the Alumni Directory. Behind Yahoo Groups security; available only to HPAA members. Find HP alumni at a company of interest or locate a former co-worker. The Alumni Directory lists several thousand HP alumni. It includes contact information for HPAA members who have listed themselves – and company information for prominent HP alumni. If you are unable to locate any contacts in the directory, post a contact request on the Career and Networking Forum.
