&lt;p&gt;Getting your MBA is sure to get your foot in the door when applying for jobs, but the most important aspect of your schooling is your ability to network.&amp;nbsp; A great resume is important, but it&amp;rsquo;s the people you know that will help you get the jobs you want.&amp;nbsp; And the more people you meet, the better your chances are of leveraging those connections to move you further along the career path.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 4px 9px; float: left;&quot; title=&quot;Networking is easier with groups&quot; src=&quot;http://www.vault.com/VCM/homepage/carousel/diverse-group-happy-263x252.png&quot; alt=&quot;Networking is easier with groups&quot; width=&quot;223&quot; height=&quot;234&quot;&gt;LinkedIn is probably one of the best ways to network without even leaving the comfort of your computer.&amp;nbsp; In addition to connecting with colleagues, schoolmates and friends, the ability to join groups will open the door to meeting new people.&amp;nbsp; The good folks at MBA Highway have made it easier for students to find the group that&amp;rsquo;s the right fit for them.&amp;nbsp; The MBA resource has created a list of the Top 50 LinkedIn Groups that they believe MBA&amp;rsquo;s must join.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;There are so many things that MBA students and professionals can do to advance their job search and careers on LinkedIn that it can actually become quite overwhelming,&amp;rdquo; said Chris Perry, the founder of MBA Highway.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;There are currently over 1 million different LinkedIn groups, and with a 50-group limit for each LinkedIn user, but so many to choose from across so many different industries, functional areas and topics, I thought I could help my fellow MBAs out there filter through the clutter by compiling a list of the top groups all MBAs should join to jumpstart their career networking and their job search efforts.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Perry has broken down the list into different categories, including Entrepreneurship, Consulting, Marketing &amp;amp; Communications, Sales &amp;amp; Business Development and Career Search &amp;amp; Development, among other categories.&amp;nbsp; Before we get into their Top 50, we&amp;rsquo;d like to add that Vault.com has created its own LinkedIn Group for users to access and discuss career advice and the latest news affecting the economy.&amp;nbsp; To join our LinkedIn Group, go to http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Vaultcom-2809519?gid=2809519&amp;amp;trk=hb_side_g&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And now here is MBA Highway&amp;rsquo;s Top 50 LinkedIn Groups for MBA&amp;rsquo;s:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MBA Specific&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;MBA Highway &amp;ndash;      MBA Job Search &amp;amp; Career Network&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Entrepreneurship &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;On Startups &amp;ndash;      The Community For Entrepreneurs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Startup      Specialists&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bright Ideas      &amp;amp; Entrepreneurs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Private Equity      and Venture Capital Group&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Consulting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Consultants      Network&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Worldwide      Management Consultants&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Marketing &amp;amp; Communications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Marketing      &amp;amp; Communication Network&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Public      Relations and Communications Professionals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Marketing      Executives Group&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Innovative      Marketing, PR, Sales, Word-of-Mouth &amp;amp; Buzz Innovators&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Advertising      Professionals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Online      Advertising Professionals&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Social Media      Marketing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sales &amp;amp; Business Development&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;!
