Managing your Online Profile
At a recent conference, I heard a number of HR and recruiting professionals mention the importance of managing your online profile. It is now very commonplace for recruiters to look at your LinkedIn/Facebook/Twitter/Blogger profile before you have even stepped into the building for your first interview.
The consequence of this is twofold....
1. It is vital to proactively manage your online profile or brand. Be sure to keep your social network profile pictures respectable when you are interviewing for jobs and make sure your prospective new employer would not be offended by anything you have written on Twitter or on a personal blog.
2. Make your online profile work favours for you. If you keep a blog or linkedin profile, use it to show your enthusiasm for your chosen career path or for the products that your prospective employer creates.
Today we launched a new service called "Managing your online profile". The aim of the service is to simulate the online profile checks that a recruiter will take when you are called to interview. In our tests we helped clients to increase the privacy settings on their social network profiles and to use their online presence effectively. Feel free to contact us today if you are currently applying for jobs and feel you could benefit from our advice!
