# Work History & Education

Pull a person's work history and education from LinkedIn, one contact at a time or across an entire Parvenu list.

Work History & Education returns a person's employment history and education background from their LinkedIn profile. Use it to understand a prospect's career path, tenure at their current company, or shared alma mater before you reach out.

### Endpoints

* [Individual Lookup](/enrichments/work-history-and-education/individual-lookup.md): pass one LinkedIn profile URL, get the history back in the response. Synchronous.
* [List Lookup](/enrichments/work-history-and-education/list-lookup.md): pass a `listname`; the API pulls history for every contact in the list and writes it to the `work_experience` and `education_history` columns. Asynchronous.

### Use Cases

* **Reference tenure and career trajectory for a sharper opening line.** Someone new to a senior role is in a different buying posture than someone who has held it for years.
* **Find a shared alma mater or past employer to open a conversation.** A common school or former company is a low-friction way into a first email.
