How to Get Noticed, Be Remembered, and Singled Out for Your New Job
Tip #1 for making the most of your online career networking experience
-Join networks that contain a cross-representation of related professionals, as well as a network of your professionals in your specific field.

It’s worth checking this out because that way your search and networking efforts will be that much more focused. You may even find someone to partner with in your future career.
