HKS Group on LinkedIn

What is LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is an online network of more than 11 million experienced professionals from around the world, representing 150 industries. When you join LinkedIn, you create a profile that summarizes your professional accomplishments. Your profile helps you find, and be found by, former colleagues, clients, partners, and others who share your interests. You can add more connections by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn. Your network consists of your connections, your connections’ connections, and the people they know, linking you to thousands of qualified professionals.

What is a LinkedIn Group?

The HKS LinkedIn Group is an online community of HKS students and alumni. Unlike the HKS Alumni Directory, not only can you reach out to other HKSers, the LinkedIn Group will allow you to request connections to those connected to our students and alumni. The network grows exponentially. All HKS affiliates, including faculty and staff, are invited and encouraged to join the group

How to Join

Go to the HKS Group Page at LinkedIn.  If you do not already have a LinkedIn account, you will be prompted to set one up at the HKS group page.

Please note that when you join, you will go into a "pending status." You will be moved from pending to active within one week. To help expedite the process, please include your HKS/KSG email address when creating your HKS LinkedIn account. This is to ensure that only members of the HKS community are admitted to the group and will facilitate the approval process.

Currently there are over 2,500 members in the HKS LinkedIn group and it is growing daily!

Online Networking

Online networking is very popular. Connections made through networking sites can lead to great contacts, informational interviews, insider feedback about specific employers and early news about promising opportunities. As a rule, it is important to keep in mind that recruiters and employers are using these sites as well. This is good news for those responsibly posting professional information – and can be hazardous for those who are mixing social and professional information. Your presence online is an important tool in your job search. For those using online sites, be aware of the exposure and the power of internet searches.
