Five reasons why you should be present on several professional social networks

By Jerome Delacroix

In recent years, professional social networks have become mainstream: Linkedin, Viadeo, Xing, to name only the most famous ones.

4. Online networking is a mid-term investment
5. Social networks are mostly free
