According to William DiAntonio, founder and CEO of Reputation911, “The Internet has influenced how we find jobs and how employers find us, and we should use technology to our advantage – looking for companies, not jobs. ” DiAntonio is an online reputation and brand management expert who recently published a blog about what to do the next time you’re looking for a job. If you have a digital portfolio or work published online, sharing links to it on your LinkedIn profile is not only a great way to improve your online reputation, but also a great way to network and showcase your work to other professionals. Your online reputation is impeccable, you’ve built a solid resume and you’re using LinkedIn to make professional connections. It may seem difficult to compile all of your skills and work experience into one document, but there are many online resume builders that make the process easier. If you use job search engines like Indeed and LinkedIn, you can easily lose track of what jobs you applied for, when you applied, and how to proceed. Fortunately, you can use online questionnaires to create a resume that will work ATS to your advantage. Cleaning up your online reputation should be your first action before you start applying for new jobs. Removing negative images or text that could harm your online reputation is an easy way to improve your reputation ranking. What makes your resume stand out from hundreds of other potential candidates? You have skills and experience that set you apart from other candidates – you just need to put them on paper. You can choose from several templates and use their writing guidelines to create the perfect resume that highlights all of your best skills and qualities. Remember that most large companies use an online application triage system called ATS (applicant tracking software). Make a note of what position you applied for and where you applied, the date you applied, and the contact information you need to contact the hiring department. Keeping track of applications will help you stay calm during your job search. As with the first step, you need to update your profile and make sure your work experience and reviews are up to date. In today’s world, people are bombarded with spam and automated messages. So it’s best to leave a personalized voice message explaining exactly why you are the best candidate for the position.
