  Join the OWIT Group on LinkedIn



Looking to leverage OWITÕs international nature and network with members outside of your local chapters? One easy and effective way to do this is to join the OWIT Group on LinkedIn. There are a growing number of social networking sites on the web, but one of the most highly recommended for business purposes is LinkedIn.

What is LinkedIn?

  • It is a professional network.
  • Over 39 million professionals worldwide use LinkedIn.
  • It allows you to connect or reconnect with people, exploit job opportunities and find key organizations.
  • It is widely used by head hunters and Executive Search agencies.
  • It is a vehicle to share information, ideas, and opportunities.

LinkedIn vs. Facebook

  • Facebook is more of a ŌsocialÕ network.
  • LinkedIn is a professional network that will allow you to find, be introduced to, and collaborate with qualified professionals who you would like to work with to accomplish your goals.

Our Group

We recently created an OWIT Group on LinkedIn that more and more OWIT members in chapters around the world are joining every day to fully utilize the extensive networking capabilities of LinkedIn. If you are looking to leverage the international nature of OWIT, become more globally connected with your peers, or even learn about OWIT job opportunities and vacancies, join the OWIT Group on LinkedIn.
