Many of you may know about BranchOut, Facebook’s largest professional networking service. It’s a fantastic way to leverage your network on Facebook to expand your professional network and learn about new job opportunities that are not being shared elsewhere. Branchout has the largest job board on Facebook with well over 3 million jobs and 20,000 internships.
The BranchOut network is global with over 50% of its 3 million users outside the U.S. Brazil, India and Europe are the most popular countries and regions, but the number of members are growing in Australia and parts of Asia.
BranchOut has numerous features to help you grow your network and connect with people in companies for whom you’d like to work. Building your network strategically with these “inside” connections can translate into you being referred for a job by a current employee or learn about upcoming opportunities you might not have heard about otherwise.
To learn more about Branch out and its benefits for expat professionals and entrepreneurs, I caught up with Mike Del Ponte, Marketing Manager at BranchOut.
Mike agreed to answer a few questions and I’ve shared his answers here:
