When you look at the LinkedIn groups out there, one of the most important things to keep in mind is that you should join only groups that are relevant to you. Although you might think it's fun to join another LinkedIn alumni association group besides your alma mater, it won’t really help you in the long run. When you’re proactive and plan to seek out a LinkedIn group to join, it's good to have a purpose in mind.
