So how do you do this?
Blog
Make your blog about yourself and your accomplishments. Every musing
should tie back to something you’ve done/accomplished
and every time you apply for a positions make sure your top blog post is something relevant and impressive
to the role you’ve applied for.
LinkedIn• Get lots of recommendations.•Answer tons of questions on LinkedIn Answers.•These two things will make your profile stand out.
Twitter•Be Helpful•Post Relevant Links to your search/expertise•Tell people you are looking for a job•Cross post your relevant links to LinkedIn so they show more activity in two places•Make private lists of people you need to know and engage them.•Don’t get caught up with the shiny people.•Make sure your contact info is clear!
Hiring Managers Love….
