How can I use LinkedIn Groups to expand my professional network and find job opportunities?

QUESTION: How can I use LinkedIn Groups to expand my professional network and find job opportunities?

 

Scott Gardner, Vitae Express

Find niche LinkedIn Groups in your field and actively contribute thoughtful comments or start discussions to stand out. Build connections with group members by referencing shared interests or conversations. Watch for insider job postings or tips shared within the group and use it as a springboard to connect with decision-makers in your industry.

Camille Roberts, CC Career Services

I love LinkedIn Groups! Join ones relevant to your industry career goals. Start by observing, then engage by asking questions and sharing your POV. Comment on discussions to showcase your expertise. Groups narrow LinkedIn’s vast network, connecting you with active members. Share that you’re seeking opportunities. Build relationships by offering value and following up.

Robert Rosales, EZ Resume Services

Leveraging your professional network is the best way to land a new job! Expand your network by joining relevant LinkedIn Groups in your industry. Engage in discussions, post insights, and connect with members–consistent interaction builds visibility, relationships, and connections. This is a great way to get noticed by recruiters and learn of job opportunities that may not be posted publicly
