myGwork: The Best Gay Professional Network
myGwork, the LGBTQ+ business community, is a platform for professionals, graduates, students, and anyone who believes in workplace equality to build strong networks and access LGBTQ+ friendly job opportunities at over 300 inclusive employers. In this article, we’ll be exploring why it’s the best gay professional network:
It’s the only alternative to gay dating sites.
We’ve all seen them: websites like tinder, grindr, and countless others that claim to offer places to make friends and connections, when in reality most users are there for just one thing. At myGwork, that’s different: quite the opposite, the platform is built for you to make friends and connections to support you as you transition into inclusive workplaces. Whether it’s asking someone for a coffee or a zoom call to discuss questions you have about their industry, on myGwork you’re part of a community that’s keen to support you.
You can meet over 300 inclusive employers.
myGwork works with over 300 companies that operate around the globe. From the big names and industries, all the way to the boutique firms, at myGwork you can follow companies that interest you and access their events, articles, and offer to connect with their employees. Debating a career change? Why not read up about what some of our partners are up to, and ask some of their staff some questions about their work?
Access over 50,000 jobs globally.
Europe, Asia, Africa, America - we have it covered. Whether you’re looking to work where you live, or want to relocate, we advertise over 50,000 jobs on behalf of our partners at opportunities around the world, and many of our partners offer to help with relocation.

Find mentors that will support you to achieve the goals you’ve set yourself.
myGwork runs a mentoring scheme which we invite our members to take part in. If you see a profile with a purple “M” on it, that’s a mentor - send them a message, offer to connect, and start exploring the benefits of being able to seek support from experienced professionals. Or, maybe, you’d like to help others! By becoming a mentor on our platform, you have the chance to share your knowledge and advice to graduates and professionals seeking to achieve greatness.
Take advantage of our mental health support.
It’s no secret that mental health and wellbeing can be a difficult thing for many LGBTQ+ people. That’s why we’re fortunate that our members have chosen to identify themselves as mental health professionals, identifiable by the peach-coloured “MH” on their profile. You can contact them to ask for support or advice on approaching mental health in full confidence that you’re talking to someone who knows how to help.
Relocating? No Problem!
Maybe you’ve just relocated to a new country for work, or are going to be relocating as a result of a great new opportunity you’ve found on myGwork. Whilst it can seem daunting - don’t worry! Our new Country Ambassadors - who can be found via the orange “CA” on their profile - have offered to help you settle in by sharing their advice, tips, and being a place for you to go and ask questions about your new home. Don’t let fears of not fitting in get in the way of your new career - speak to a Country Ambassador today!
