Network, Network and Join The Groups

I'm getting more and more interested in what internet Groups and sites like Twitter have to offer to people who are looking for a job.

Three of us contribute to this blog. We all belong to various professional networking sites, and we've all joined Groups on those sites - so we get a lot of mail from the various professional networking sites and the Groups we've subscribed to over a period.

During the course of this week alone, we've seen jobs advertised by credit groups, wine groups, sales groups, and on Twitter. Most of them, I have to say, came via LinkedIn - but some of them came in on Naymz or Xing . I think we focused on the one came in on Twitter so you probably know all about that one.

The point is - if you don't join professional networking sites and work hard at making them work for you, then you won't hear about the jobs that are on offer.

One Group we know of on LinkedIn sends a very good message: "I will encourage you to use the Discussions, News and Job Panels as they are constantly updated by our members . Be active and you will benefit from everybody in the group." No surprise that that Group has almost 10,000 members.

It doesn't matter what you do, or how far up the ladder you are with what you do. Joining professional networking sites, and looking for Groups that suit you, can only help you get where you want to go.
