Now that you have a fantastic marketing tool (resume) that demonstrates how great you are ― let’s get it circulating and have it land in the right hands.
Beyond posting to the top career sites such as Monster.com, Careerbuilder.com, Hotjobs.com, Indeed.com, Workgiant.com, and Simplyhired.com (to name a few), you need to start networking. Create an online presence to connect with other professionals and create opportunities to align with the right people. As you build online relationships, you may learn of opportunities, openings, and career trends. Now, I am not suggesting you meet people online and bombard them with emails with your resume attached ―just network!
Through online interactions, information is swapped and your name as an expert in a particular field may come up. Be sure to link to an online portfolio or online resume from your social profile, providing non-aggressive and easy access to your career history and status! Don’t have an online resume visit visualcv.com.
Here is a link that will help you get started with online networking ― check it out and see what you have been missing. Complete Web 2.0 directory go2web20.net. If you get overwhelmed, begin with the most popular ones such as linkedin.com, facebook.com, twitter.com, myspace.com, xing.com, and zoominfo.com.
Happy socializing!
