In today’s electronic hiring environment it’s very important to develop and maintain a job search presence online. You never know when the next job opportunity will arise, and you don’t want to miss that opportunity because you decided not to take the time to establish an online professional profile. Perhaps the most well-known social media network today, in terms of the job search, is LinkedIn, where job seekers can build a profile based on their professional history, gather advice from job search help groups, and network with peers who might know of job openings, etc. When establishing your profile on LinkedIn (and the like), you’ll want to make sure the details of your professional history align with those on your resume. Discrepancies between your online profiles and your resume can raise red flags and cause confusion among hiring decision makers. Don’t give a prospective employer an easy reason to ignore you and your credentials!
