Being a member of the Network has many benefits. Not only do you have access to training, a network of professionals who are always willing to support and industry-leading research, you also have the ability to leverage your membership to grow your professional network and optimize your job search.
Here are several ways you can leverage your Network membership
1. Start writing blog posts in the Network or linking your external blog posts in relevant Network threads.
One of last year's TheCR Hacks showed members
how to blog in the Network.
2. Participate in Find My Peers and lead a Network group or in-person meetup.
If you are currently a member of a user group, leading a meeting or acting as the member point person is an excellent addition to your CV or online portfolio. Public speaking and leadership come in many forms and being a member of TheCR help you gain these valuable skills even if these opportunities are not available yet in your current position.
3. List your TheCR membership on your Linkedin profile or other social media profiles.
Check out this awesome example from
@Matt LAURENCEAU! Recently Matt did something different, he added his membership to TheCR to his LinkedIn profile. He later shared this graphic that represents how this small changed impacted his interactions on the platform. Find out how you can hack your Linkedin profile below!
There are many ways you can step up your membership engagement and it all depends on your priorities. If you don't have the time or interest in blogging at the moment, or you need to keep your membership private, that is ok! Leveraging your membership is about deciding how you want TheCR to work for you, and what you can contribute and taking action.
