Self Promotion Using Web Profiles
Getting a job in our world today...Is it easier or more difficult?
Older generations may argue that it is more difficult to find a job now because the level of competition is so much higher. Others may argue it is easier to get a job today because there are so many tools that make success seem almost inevitable.
Computers have revolutionized the way we communicate with one another and Social Media is the avenue we use to stay connected to the world around us. Employers are now looking at social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot, Vine etc. These tools for communication are helpful but they are individual entities- they stand alone in the realm of communication. Personalized websites are the key to bringing these elements together as a powerful tool for connectivity and self promotion.
Websites such as Weebly, Wix and Webs are a free opportunity for anyone to essentially "market" themselves. Creating these personalized sites allows employers to see whether or not you would be an asset to their company. Employers can then use the information on the site to contact you if they feel you are fit for the job.
