For example, there may be thousands of project management groups, but if you’re looking for an appointment in the industrial or manufacturing sectors, you won’t want to be networking with project managers in banking.
Remember, every group you join affords you the opportunity to message each member -- even if they are not a member of your network. Consequently, you can exponentially increase the number of company contacts you can access when researching target companies.
Once you’ve joined your preferred groups, introduce yourself and participate in the discussions. When you gain an understanding of the group culture and what topics resonate with members, introduce your own discussions as a component of a strategic networking plan.
