    Just to jog everyone's memory that we have a discussion group on LinkedIn which is very handy when the forums go down :p

    Was considering joining but withdrew my request. Just wondering how applications to join are moderated? Reason being I don't want all and anyone seeing my full profile.

    Does Linkedin offer a limited profile for groups you join? Or does joining a group mean other group members must add you to their network before they can see your information? I wasn't sure, hence I withdrew my request.

    1) You set how much of your profile people can see (but remember this is a professional networking site so the idea is to be open and network with people)

    2) Non-members can only see your public profile and again you decide what you allow

    3) Groups have no effect on your profile. If you join a Group another Group member only sees what you want them to (and you only join Groups if you want to)

    4) Group members do not have to connect with you to see your profile - they are LinkedIn members and so see what you allow

    I would say that if you are that concerned about your professional info then don't put it on there ! (but doesn't that rather defeat the object ??? )

    I don't include any personal info such as dob, phone numbers etc. and I use an email address that isn't my main one (I use my BCS free email)

    Go on - give it a go ! (we don't bite !) :biggrin

    So essentially joining a group on LinkedIn means that even as a group member, until another group member adds me to their network they can only see my public profile?

    I'll give it a go. :)
