You may join one of the groups that  focuses on a certain interest so you may easily blend with the members of the group. Groups in these sites meet offline to establish professional and friendly connections that may also be beneficial to one's career.

Another networking site is Xing. This networking site is available in different parts of the world and also in the USA. Most members are able to meet new contacts through these websites, which can eventually be an established business relationship through offline meetings. Join any of the networking sites and expand your networks for more promising career opportunities.

Among the several networking sites in the USA, LinkedIn has ranked as number 1. This site allows you to access thousands of professional connections instantly. You will also get to access several tutorials and training on this website that might actually help you out in your career. Lastly, one of its best features is that you will also be given the chance to specify your fields of expertise and write down your other credentials so other professionals can get in touch with you should they find you as a beneficial connection for a particular requirement.
