It seems that so much of our lives revolve around the web. If we have any kind of question about any kind of subject, we do a search and eventually find the answer. Social media sites keep us connected with people we haven’t seen or heard from in years. We also make friends out of strangers from all over the world. So it makes sense that your job search includes the internet. So hopefully you are comfortable with the internet and have an online presence.
What is an online presence?
In general terms without even considering looking for a job, an online presence is being actively involved in social media such as Facebook, LinkIn, and Twitter among other sites. Having your profile out there on these sites where everyone can see them is invaluable. They know you are looking for a job and they will get to know you by what you have written. Especially linkIn which is geared toward those who are networking for a job.
Having an online presence can also mean that you have a blog or a website where you can continually put yourself out there for folks who are looking for employees. But definitely belong to the social media sites.
While having an online presence is important, making contacts face to face is also vital to your job search. There are still some things you can’t do on the internet.
