I had an experience where someone copied my profile almost verbatim. The only words that were different were foci, though we are in the same field. Given that we want to stand out -- and given that I worked hard to make my profile uniquely mine -- what's the advice on this? Let the individual know politely that it makes me uncomfortable? I'm a bit shocked about how unabashed the copying is, and since this is an acquaintance from a previous job, surprised there was no communication about using the profile as a template to start with. That would have changed my reaction entirely. I'm now thinking of altering my summary, even though I'm feeling a bit strong-armed into doing that... Advice on etiquette here would be great... Hi,

I decided to post after reading Adam’s post on not blending in, being sure that a summary stands out.

I had an experience where someone copied my profile almost verbatim. The only words that were different were foci, though we are in the same field.

Given that we want to stand out — and given that I worked hard to make my profile uniquely mine — what’s the advice on this? Let the individual know politely that it makes me uncomfortable?

I’m a bit shocked about how unabashed the copying is, and since this is an acquaintance from a previous job, surprised there was no communication about using the profile as a template to start with. That would have changed my reaction entirely.

I’m now thinking of altering my summary, even though I’m feeling a bit strong-armed into doing that…

Advice on etiquette here would be great…

A personal web presence or blog? Definitely! @theGreatHorseman, agree, same perspective, it's simple structuring and no creativity. Off the shelve branding. Shoestring, yes, substance no. Also, it could actually work against you as well, if you do not have many connections; if I have it in my email, I am already connected to that individual, I don't need another connection with them through a SN!

And I think Adam Singer is right on every point, and the topics he speaks on. My perspective is like this, Business on the internet has gone the way of too much technology with no heart beat, or rather special effects, with no real plot. Nothing I can sink my teeth into. Before I get to the end of an ad, I already know where people are going. No creativity. I'm a musician learning structure. So thank you for all the challanges everybody. Real tasteful insight. PR with no marketing strategies, or marketing strategies with no PR. Somewhere in the middle is where I want to be, while having fun in the process. I like what I’ve been hearing.
