Build Your Personal Brand
The truth is, in the current recruiting environment, your CV and online profile has to make an impact.
Recruiters and Managers skim read CV's in under 30 seconds.
The market is so competitive, fast moving and the old rules of job searching are changing.
Most people we meet say they are confused about how quickly social media has had an impact on our personal life. How you should act and present yourself when everything is now so transparent and online.
The problem is your powerless to stop this change as it's now so far entrenched. But what can you do about it?
Can you be bothered to send twitter updates everyday, update a personal blog, update facebook, update Linkedin, update Linkedin groups and all at the same time as doing a full time job!?!
Well you don't necessarily have to do all that - just make sure you have the initial bases covered to make yourself visible, credible and approachable.
You can then be clear about what you do, what you can offer and stand out from other people in the competition for business / new jobs.
How will you stand out?
- To attract the attention of the recruiter, draw them in and focus on results that are clear
- DO NOT make them hunt for your expertise
- Your CV should mirror your LinkedIn profile, as this is proving massively important for personal branding and your online CV (see the new Linkedin apply button for probably the slow death of the CV)
- Make sure you have relevant keywords within your CV and your online profiles - Linkedin, Twitter, XING, Viadeo, Plaxo and others...
- Be careful not to have Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter linked - treat each social network with its purpose (Facebook - more social, Linkedin - more professional)
| We can optimise your online profiles, presentation, impact, structure, targeting, keyword indexing and Linkedin profile optimisation. We will then provide a CV that matches your profile. |
