Can Employers Find You Online?

Employers are increasingly using online tools as their primary means of sourcing new employees. Job boards such as Monster and Careerbuilder have long served as the places that job seekers think to list their resumes. But what about the newer “upcoming” networking sites such as Linkedin?

Whether you are searching for a new job or simply use Linkedin as a networking tool, your profile and resume should portray your credentials and professionalism at their best. Online profiles should also include an easy-to-download current resume. The best career opportunities often arise unexpectedly when you are not “looking for a job”.

2010 is the year to invest in yourself professionally. Invest in your online presence, ensure your resume is perfected and easy for employers to review, and increase your network. Those are the three keys to success in today’s online recruiting.
