Connect with people: Use LinkedIn as a way to reconnect with people you've lost track of and to meet new connections. Making connections is what LinkedIn is all about. Joining groups is a great way to do that because you can send a message to other group members or ask to add them to your network. Just click on the members tab when you are in the Group and when you mouse over a member an “invite to connect” and “Send message’ link will appear. Having a common association such as OTEN Alumni will allow you to make valuable connections.
Find groups that are focused on your particular area, industry and you'll not only make connections, you'll be up on what's going on in your industry, current trends and people.
LinkedIn has different categories of groups; Alumni, Corporate, Networking, Non-Profit and Professional. To search groups, click on the groups menu, select your category and put in your keywords.
