<\/a>LinkedIn Groups\u00a0are one of the big benefits of LinkedIn membership, but many members don\u2019t seem to know that. They\u2019re missing out on plenty of opportunities to accelerate their job search.<\/p>\n

Joining the right Groups can lead you to people who can help you achieve your job search goals.<\/p>\n

But how do you find the right Groups for you to join?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re at the point in your search where you\u2019re actively networking into that next job, I\u2019m assuming you will have already researched and identified several target companies<\/a>, and determined who you need to connect with at those companies.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also assuming you already have an on-brand, keyword rich, 100% complete Linked profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s one way to find\u00a0the right LinkedIn Groups, in 3 steps:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. Working from your list of key people at your target companies, go to each one\u2019s LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n

2. Look for the Groups they belong to and, if those Groups are a good fit for you, join them yourself.<\/p>\n

3. Spend a little time getting a feel for the way that particular Group works, and slowly start contributing to existing discussions and starting your own. The idea is to position yourself, and become known, as a subject matter expert and thought leader.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s that easy! <\/em>This is one way to begin rubbing elbows with key hiring decision makers at, or connected to, the companies you\u2019re interested in working for.<\/p>\n

Then, you can get busy building your executive brand with LinkedIn Groups<\/a>.<\/p>\n
