The value of your learning network

Shouting your own praises?

I've just read a couple of posts which are concerned with making use of your network to improve your job prospects. At least, they speculate on the potential value of your network to an employer. However, while this may be true in some sense, it is not a new phenomenon, is largely unmeasurable and could, in some circumstances, work against you.

So, whilst the idea is superficially beguiling, it really has very little substance in my opinion.
