Get noticed for all the right reasons. Many employers look at a potential employees on-line profile now – because they can, and this may be a determining factor of whether you get the role over another prospect.
- Take a look at your Facebook and LinkedIn profiles, (and any others you have posted on-line). Do these profiles and photos reflect the business person or the party person? If they don't reflect the former, you may need to overhaul them.
- Eliminate any negative images and content – start including all the good positive stuff about yourself. Use your name repeatedly in positive terms and be genuine.
- Don't use any negativity about past employers or past colleagues - where is that going to get you anyway? Play nicely and kindly.
- Learn how to make the most of your social media by connecting with all the right people and groups. How many of your friends are professional business people? Connect with them, it's easy and you never know who may be looking at your profile once you do.
- Reciprocate when a friend / connection endorses your skills, be nice - what goes around, comes around. Remember, be genuine.
- Tie it all together. Have your resume and your on-line profiles all tied together. This gives a look of professionalism and continuity.
