LinkedIn is a social networking site for business professionals.

The Harvard Business School Club of Charlotte has created a group on LinkedIn to facilitate networking among our members. People who have been through a job search will tell you that the best time to build your network is before you need it. That is why getting connected to other members can be so valuable.

Our HBS Club of Charlotte LinkedIn Group is for paid members only. This is another benefit that you gain by joining the club. If you are a member, CLICK HERE to join the HBS Club of Charlotte LinkedIn Group. Paid members who follow this link should be pre-approved. If you are not pre-approved, you may request to join.

If you are not a member, HBS Alumni and MDP participants can join the HBS Club of Charlotte here.

LinkedIn is a totally "opt in" environment. You decide whether to join LinkedIn. You decide how much information to share. You decide whether to join a group. Groups may send emails and have discussion areas. You decide whether to participate or receive these emails. If other HBS Club members approach you through LinkedIn, you can decide whether to respond. If you have a job opening, and would like to post it for group members to see, you may do that as well.

Take a minute to join our LinkedIn group. And if you are not currently a member of LinkedIn, it is easy to join. Just follow the link above.
