LinkedIn is the ultimate online social networking site when it
comes to business. With the ability to apply for jobs, join groups of interest,
and meet industry professionals whilst showing off your CV, LinkedIn has become
a necessity to succeed in business. (Rosen 2012)
Groups of Interest
There are an
endless number of groups on LinkedIn targeted at different
industries. Some of which are tailored to students and recent graduates. You
can network and gain advice based on other peoples experience as well as make
great connections. Below are a few groups of personal choice which you may
find helpful. Some groups are private and require membership approval.
· Event Managers around the World
· Event Jobs - The Original Website for Jobs in Events
· Event Jobs - Internships, placements, volunteer roles and work experience
· Student Forum - Event Planners and Event Management
· Students and Recent Grads
· London Business and Social Events
· London Women Mean business
· Women in Business networking
· More to love than Shoes for Women Entrepreneurs
· Free Industry Training in Creative and Digital Media
Don't be put off
by words such as managers and professionals in the title. This doesn't
necessarily mean you have to be a professional or manager.
These groups will give you the greatest opportunities to network and
present yourself to people at the top of their industry. you will
also find recruitment agencies within these groups.
LinkedIn also has
a job search engine specifically for Students and Recent Grads. Just select the
industry you're interested in and start applying!

ReplyDeleteThis is great advice, I use LinkedIn on a daily basis and have accumulated 1000 work contacts. Extremely useful when looking for new positions and general networking. Again great advice from this blog - It has now become my 'goto' blog as the advice is very helpful and informative. I realise this blog is aimed at women but extremely beneficial to men as well.
ReplyDeleteReally informative post, helps me understand linked in a little better, have already got an account and making sense of it now.
ReplyDeleteI've never given LinkedIn much of a chance or heard good things about it from people but thanks to this, it has encouraged me to try it.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks.
