LinkedIn is an outstanding resource for professional networking, but I am concerned about the reliability & validity of the information in the profile. Appearance & reality are not always one in the same.
I’ve identified the following issues:
Situation:
Situation:
- Unemployed individuals on their profile present the last position as current when it is not.
Excuses: “I have tried to edit the
profile & cannot.” “I will have more recruiters & employers contact me, if I am employed.”
Solution:
Unemployed individuals should present themselves accurately to invite
assistance in their job search.
Situation:
Situation:
- Employed individuals present themselves as consultants on their profile, when they hold full-time positions, some are in high-level management.
Excuses: “I am always looking.” “I
want to pick up consulting work, even though I am making a high salary in the
event I could be downsized.”
Solution: Be honest! Your
deception can be discovered.
Situation:
- Unemployed or Employed?
The profile is a hodgepodge of fraudulent information,
which includes company names that are not real companies.
Excuses: More unconvincing lies when confronted directly & they quickly work to cover their tracks.
Solution:
Remove yourself from LinkedIn.
What should LinkedIn do?
Remove the
con artists from LinkedIn & clearly state the requirements to maintain an accurate profile. Create a system to verify, at a bare minimum, the individual’s
current position.
If LinkedIn wants to be a trusted professional networking
site who sets the standard, they need to make changes now to set the stage for
2018. Otherwise, their credibility could be in jeopardy.
