<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAre you feeling nervous because you noticed that your boss was looking at your LinkedIn profile?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may have nothing to worry about. On the other hand, there may be some action you should take to avoid potential issues. Read on to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Checking skills and experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As a senior member of staff at various companies, I\u2019ve occasionally looked at the LinkedIn profiles of my team members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m simply reminding myself of the skills and experience that the individual had before joining my team. It\u2019s easier and faster to check on LinkedIn than to ask the H.R. department for their CV or resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, be sure to add all the skills that you want to show off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, you may get lumbered with looking after that old software that you hated in your previous job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some managers like to check LinkedIn profiles of their staff to ensure that there is nothing there that would reflect badly on the company\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you (or a \u201cfriend\u201d) listed an inappropriate skill as a joke to amuse your pals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you join a fringe or controversial group? If I was working for a meat processing plant, I wouldn\u2019t join the animal liberation group (I\u2019m not sure if there is one).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Checking to see if you\u2019re planning to leave<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If your boss has got wind that you\u2019re thinking of moving on, he or she may take a look at your LinkedIn profile for clues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What type of clues? Well, if you\u2019ve acquired a new skill in your role and that has suddenly appeared in your profile \u2013 that\u2019s one potential clue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
