Career tips are back. This week's tip is to review your digital footprint and take steps to ensure a strong professional online presence. A few ways you can do that:
- Google your name, and explore what shows up. Are you listed on the first page? Consider establishing yourself on Google+, so your name comes up more readily in searches.
- Check all your online profiles. Review security and feature settings for LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter, and make sure they are calibrated to help position you for effective networking and interviewing.
- Post thoughtful comments on relevant business-related sites and Twitter.
- Double check any blog posts that you’ve got out there for spelling and grammar, and make sure they are appropriate for the presence you want to create.
Whether you are looking for a new or promotional role, recruiters and hiring managers will look for you online. Be proactive in creating a professional presence that enables your career advancement.
