Facebook groups are the second-best invention after Facebook, or perhaps it’s an even better one! This arguably underrated tool can make a huge difference in your work life. An active and well-moderated Facebook group can be quite engaging and dynamic; it’s one of the most efficient networking tools. What makes Facebook groups stand out is that they’re easy to access and engagement of all sorts through them is quite easy and dynamic. In corona times, this couldn’t be more relevant. We picked ones where you could network, discuss your work, find jobs, and showcase your work.
