Recently our Geomatics LinkedIn group was selected as the top Canadian Geomatics LinkedIn Group by the GoGeomatics team.
To come up with their rankings they had a team of people examine various available Geomatics based groups that emphasize Canadain related topics. GoGeomatics considered the size of the group (the number of members), the spatial coverage of the group, the groups content and the group’s activity.
Thankfully, LinkedIn’s new ranking algorithm takes both of those factors into consideration when generating results for search queries, as well as the number of contacts in networks that are already members of that group. LinkedIn do that to ensure that their search results have a much higher rate of relevancy.
If you are not already a member of our Canadian Geomatics LinkedIn Group, then I invite you to join us, we currently have over gained over 575 members in the past 6 months with Geomatics people from coast to coast all helping to provide and sharing advice or answers to Canadian Geomatics issues. The more people we have join from all across the country, the stronger the group will become, so we hope to see you there and tell your co-workers and your friends.
Little more about Gogeomatics:
GoGeomatics is in the process of launching their third generation of Geomatics job boards with many new features to help students get a leg up in their career search. The new site will be better integrated with the blog, twitter and LinkedIn. Rumor has it that they will soon offer video resumes, cross platform login ability to integrate with twitter, facebook and LinkedIn and options to pay to have your resume appear higher in search results. When the new site is launched we will review it and share our findings here on our blog
