The Rising Threat of Professional Networking

According to recruitment specialist and founder of Job-Job.co.uk, Ian Brooks, users of professional networking sites such as Linked-In and Xing are at as much risk of professional downfall as users of more frivolous sites. Social Networking is increasingly prevalent across the "professional" user and can ultimately have the same detrimental effect facing so many social networking enthusiasts.

Although Linked-In is known as a professional friendly site, allowing people to keep in touch and connect on a certified level, the danger lies in an individual's interests and how they maintain their account - an innocent sounding comment such as "interested in brand management jobs" perhaps from an ancient job search can lead a current employer to jump to the conclusion that the user in question is actively seeking a new position - even if this is not actually the case.

For this reason, Job-Job.co.uk advises all users of social sites - both professional and leisure to maintain and update their profiles as often as necessary in order to avoid unintentional stress and confusion.
