Finding the Right Group

On your

homepage

Many employers have dedicated student groups

created for fostering relationships with

students they hope to hire soon.

Page 47: Linkedin for Students

Groups – get your settings right

Size can be important – but is not always the best

indicator of quality.

A healthy group has frequent discussion topics, but

remains focused on topic.

A lot of spam or agency vacancy posts suggest the group

is badly maintained.
