Join Claflin Hill's
Facebook group Have your discovered
these virtual networking groups? Facebook is more of a social group. Think of
it as your local coffee shop or a neighborhood barbecue. It's a place where you
might meet up with people you haven't seen since you graduated from high
school. And here's the best part... you don't have to spend time catching up.
If you want to know more about what someone's been doing for the past twenty
years, read their profile. If not, just pick up now. You might view a photo
album of their summer vacation. You might see pictures from a recent family
reunion.
Your kids probably have an account already, so ask them how to
start your own Facebook account. |
Join Claflin Hill's group on
LinkedIn. LinkedIn is more
business oriented. I know people who've gotten jobs and increased their
businesses through LinkedIn and connections made online. For example Claflin
Hill board member Vickie Griffin of
Confetti
Gifts and Chocolates uses LinkedIn to network with companies. She even
reconnected with a colleague, now working at a large company, who ordered gift
baskets. This system really works. |
