“It is human nature to seek out people that share a common interest. Why do people join clubs and business associations? It's the same thing, only online groups are easier to join and require less of a commitment. No dues, no meetings. Whenever I have a technical question I know I can get an answer very quickly from knowledgeable people. It's fun to talk shop!”
Next.. Join Groups
“Once I actually found groups that were active my LinkedIn experience became extremely positive.”
“Joining a group is the 1st step to great networking”
“I also find it important to join groups for business and pleasure. Since joining LinkedIn I have met a vast number of very knowledgeable people and learned a great deal.”
