00:00:00,170 --> 00:00:02,140
- [Narrator] You might
wanna write this down.

2
00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:03,670
What should your online presence

3
00:00:03,670 --> 00:00:06,230
say about you when you're
searching for a job?

4
00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:09,500
Number one: keep everything
as up to date as possible.

5
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:11,080
This includes LinkedIn, Twitter,

6
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,050
and your personal website if you have one.

7
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:15,390
You never know when people
might need your expertise,

8
00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:17,590
or when your dream company
wants to hire someone

9
00:00:17,590 --> 00:00:19,570
with your skills and qualifications.

10
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:21,530
If you've taken a
certification or been promoted,

11
00:00:21,530 --> 00:00:24,200
make sure your online
presence reflects that

12
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,630
because if you don't, you
might not show up in searches

13
00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:29,010
and even if they do find
you, they might now know

14
00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:31,550
that you're actually
qualified to do the job.

15
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:33,500
Number two: make yourself accessible.

16
00:00:33,500 --> 00:00:35,760
You want to have some way
for people to contact you,

17
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,010
whether it's by email, Twitter DMs,

18
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:40,000
or messages on your personal website.

19
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,210
There's no point in showcasing
the value that you can bring

20
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,970
only for people to struggle
to get in touch with you.

21
00:00:45,970 --> 00:00:48,340
Number three: stay authentic to yourself.

22
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:50,040
It's easy in the age of social media

23
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,480
to feel like you have to
present a certain image.

24
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,208
But in a world of curated filters,

25
00:00:54,208 --> 00:00:56,720
anything that doesn't
come across as genuine

26
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,760
is going to be obvious.

27
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,100
Just be strategic about what you share.

28
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,470
