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 by looking for companies, not jobs. DiAntonio is an online reputation management and branding expert who recently blogged 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 build professional networks. It may seem difficult to collect all of your skills and experience in 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 which jobs you applied for, when and how. Fortunately, you can use online resume quizzes that will play in your favor with ATS. Cleaning up your online reputation should be your first action before applying for a new job. Removing negative images or text that can damage your online reputation is an easy way to boost your 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 writing guidelines to create the perfect resume that showcases your best skills and qualities. Remember that most large companies use an online application 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 a record of your applications will help you stay calm during your job search. As with the first one, update your profile and make sure your work experience and ratings are up to date. In today’s world, people are bombarded with spam and automated messages. That’s why it’s best to leave a personalized voice message explaining exactly why you are the best candidate for the position.
