Join OVA on LinkedIn
We are pleased to announce that OVA now has our own group on LinkedIn!
We know that Facebook is not for everyone. Some prefer a more professional social network to interact with fellow alumni. As a platform geared towards professionals, we believe that our LinkedIn group will be attractive to Victorians.
Jobs Board
We have also taken in your feedback on the desire to have a “jobs board” where Victorians who have employment requirements, whether as a hirer or hiree, can post their requests. We look forward to the OVA LinkedIn group becoming a platform for full-time, part-time and internship opportunities.
In short, LinkedIn is a good platform to connect with fellow Victorians!

What is LinkedIn:
Your professional network of trusted contacts gives you an advantage in your career, and is one of your most valuable assets. LinkedIn exists to help you make better use of your professional network and help the people you trust in return. Our mission is to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful. We believe that in a global connected economy, your success as a professional and your competitiveness as a company depends upon faster access to insight and resources you can trust.
When you join, you create a profile that summarizes your professional expertise and accomplishments. You can then form enduring connections by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you. Your network consists of your connections, your connections’ connections, and the people they know, linking you to a vast number of qualified professionals and experts. Through your network you can:
- Manage the information that’s publicly available about you as professional
- Find and be introduced to potential clients, service providers, and subject experts who come recommended
- Create and collaborate on projects, gather data, share files and solve problems
- Be found for business opportunities and find potential partners
- Gain new insights from discussions with likeminded professionals in private group settings
- Discover inside connections that can help you land jobs and close deals
- Post and distribute job listings to find the best talent for your company
