Facebook became our go-to app, for entertainment, news, and connecting with friends. Nearly everyone is on the social media platform checking their news feed every 2 minutes for good memes that would make the day pass quicker.
One of the most common notifications that we all get, other than people liking or reacting to our recent status, is invitations to bazillion Facebook groups. From cooking and traveling to shopping and ranting about your ex, there is literally a group for everyone, including foodies, adrenaline junkies, pet-lovers, skin-care enthusiasts, cinephiles, and many more.
Yet, laying underneath the virtual invitations of interest-oriented groups is a number of Facebook communities that can help you greatly in your career. So, why not discover the other side of Facebook, the “LinkedIn-ish” one. As we always care about your professional life, 925Egypt, is suggesting 3 Facebook groups that you need to be on for your career.
