Isn’t it time you brush up or immerse yourself in learning how to job search more effectively?
Almost every recruiter will search for you online at some point during the hiring process. Don’t believe me? Just look at Jobvite’s Recruiter Nation report, SilkRoad’s Report, CareerBuilder’s Recruiting Report, or google “social recruiting”. What all these reports point to is that the information recruiters find online about candidates can and does influence hiring decisions.
If you are thinking, “I don’t care what someone finds” or “I don’t want anything about me online” then you may be missing out on opportunities and that’s a shame.
Personal SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and Personal Online Reputation Management
These may be new terms to you and you may not know exactly what they mean. But I don’t want you to dismiss them because they are so important to your job search. Without an understanding of what these terms mean, or what actions you need to take, you’ll become a dinosaur, and that’s not going to help you.
The steps you take to improve and manage your online reputation aren’t difficult. You just need to know how. That’s why I’m sharing this incredible free resource not normally available to the public.
