To ignore or underutilize the many resources available through the Internet will put candidates at a severe disadvantage. Whether it performing research, submitting information to companies or having a website, people are discovering that having a web presence give them ownership of their own person brand and identity that goes far beyond just a job search.

Websites

Working directly with you, we will register a domain name and create a website built on your distinctive professional character. It will be an extension of your Resume and Professional Value Statement and will tell additional aspects of your professional story that will help motivate interest in you.

Imagine what happens when two equally qualified job seekers reach a decision-maker who might want to hire them.

1. The first sends an electronic letter with a resume and an email address of TheirName@AOL.com. (aka amateurs online)

2. The second sends a Professional Value Statement and mentions www.TheirWebsite.com. Coincidentally, their website has a video clip, case studies, a resume, testimonial and more.

Which candidate do you think they'll call?

If you want to make a first-class impression on a prospective employer, having a website with a video clip combined with testimonials and other professional data will demonstrate your initiative, creativity and nature to acting proactively. And if a perspective employer would be like it, imagine the impression of you that a prospect would have after seeing your message on the web

Internet-based Job Boards

With over 75 major and minor websites dedicated to job posting and candidate, it's hard to know which ones to post to, how to use them and how much time should be spent on them.

We will show you how to use job-board aggregators and how to ensure you are effectively posting your information.

Internet-based Networking

Everyday, there are new sites dedicated to "connecting" people. Do you Twitter, should you be Linked-In, want to be a Friendster or just want to join your Classmates? All great sites but maybe not all for you.

We will direct you toward the best sites for networking with professionals and finding those who may be able to help with your job search.

Finally, we will show you how to use some of the news services and subscription services to ensure that you have the most current industry information.
