Online discussion groups are email-based, subject-specific forums. People subscribe to groups that discuss issues that are important to them. Online discussion groups are great venues for job seekers to learn more about various fields and to contact other job seekers and experts in various subject areas.

Many managers, professionals, and executives use these communication tools for networking, discussing developments in their occupation or industry and asking questions of each other. Anyone involved in a job search can benefit from following these online, public discussions, and they are a good resource for developing networking contacts, researching industry trends, and other developments.

Discussion groups and forums exist for all aspects of the job search process and for most industries, occupations and professions. It is not difficult to locate and join job search support groups or other career networking groups. Blogs are growing in popularity and they may provide useful networking information. You should use online forums and blogs carefully and not assume that the information posted is private. Forums and blogs are indexed by Google and fully searchable by your current or potential employer. Don't post any information or comments that you do not want to be public and guard your privacy by using an alias and a dedicated email address from a service like hotmail.com. The links are informational resources and are not Canadian specific.
