Are there different laws? Certainly one couldn't divulge information that is covered by an NDA, but other areas of performance should be OK. <a href="http://www.cecsearch.com/" rel="nofollow">Restaurant Recruiter</a> | <a href="http://www.cecsearch.com/restaurant_jobs.htm" rel="nofollow">Restaurant Jobs</a> | <a href="http://blog.cecsearch.com" rel="nofollow">Restaurant Recruiters >> Blog</a> How different is talking about your projects and job assignments on your resume as opposed to posting them on your online profile?

I think what you might want to add to not create unwarranted fear in personal branders and job seekers is the concept of a Non Disclosure (NDA) and/or Employment Agreement (EA). Some projects are secret in nature (although I've never heard of people not being able to offer information about themselves from their performance reviews) and how you write about them may (and this is very a big assumption) cause an elevated level of consternation by your employer. Incidentally, I take no issues with checking with references before posting them online (recruiters like me LOVE seeing your references - they make very good candidates). If you don't have a NDA or EA, check your employee handbook for policies that speak to public communication. Susan - if you can post the specific Federal or state statutes that discuss this, it would really help job seekers and personal branders. Thanks.

But there are some legal issues job seekers absolutely MUST be aware of. Before putting performance review or reference quotes online you must make sure your have permission from the person bestowing your good graces and from the company. The same goes for posting work products or projects completed. The last thing a job seeker needs is a lawsuit! I love the idea of online presences, really I do.
