How important is it for a job seeker to have a strong presence online?
"A person's Internet presence might give some indication of how they
would fit into company culture," says Lisa Hart of Ceridian Services. "And
thanks to social networking and association sites, you might discover
information about your candidate that could be considered an asset. These
discoveries could be positive outcomes of an Internet search."
In fact, nearly half of the HR professionals surveyed run a search of
potential hires on Google or Yahoo!, according to a recent survey by the
Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
And the Web 2.0 world is making it easier for job seekers to build a
professional reputation online, according to Article Marketer founder Chris
Ellington.
"All it takes is a simple blog, where you post your resume. Then, publish
articles about your area of expertise, with a link back to your blog. Your
name will begin to appear in industry newsletters, e-zines and blogs,
positioning you as an expert in your field."
Article Marketing offers a free audio seminar for job seekers who want to
learn the specific steps to take to build their status online. Visit
