Set alarms/ Tweetbeeps– Attract your own followers– Tweet– Advertise (add links to books, etc.)– Become privy to breaking news– Share humorous stories– Have a value proposition

Personal Websites

Set up a free site with resume and keywords about you/ for what you are looking GoDaddy.com: current top domain hoster: you can also use MySpace, Google, etc.

HOW TO:  Visit a domain-name registrar online to see whether or not your domain name is available.  Select a host company to keep your domain name. You can ask your Internet service

provider, which may provide this service for a fee, or you can search the Internet for Web site hosting companies. The host company or provider will create your Web or e-mail address with the appropriate routing information.

Buy your domain name by registering it either through your host or with a domain name registrar. Provide your credit card number and any technical information - available from your Web host - as needed.

Wait a day or so for the new domain name to be processed, then give it to your Web host to attach to your Web page

Build your Web page -focus on strengths, achievements and value you bring to potential employer

Group or Personal Blogs

What is a Blog? Website displaying entries in reverse chronological order with the most recently written at the top.

– Text, Images, Videos, Links, Method for viewers to respond– All you need to start blogging is an email address and something to say. – Also, Miniblogs and Videoblogs (Flickr, YouTube)

Step 1: Define Your Niche/ Audience• Use a blog for people in your profession who may share your viewpoint, struggle, goals, etc.• Anything goes, but if this blog is for your job search, monitor its content.

Step 2: Name Your Blog• Should be memorable, short, easy to spell and related to subject matter.• Possibly match blog name and URL; host name will also appear if you use a hosting service.• If you only want your blog name to show, purchase a registered domain name.

Step 3: Choose a Blog Host (WordPress.com, Blogger, Typepad and Vox)

Step 4: Create Your Blog• Hosts will walk you through process. Standard format = header, sidebar and body (posts).

Video Conferencing

Employers love the ability to video conference candidates for an interview

Be sure to have the capability at home or a strategy to execute a video conference on short notice.

Make connections with individuals via social media– Literally “connect”– Find commonalities!!– Increase Mindshare- status updates, posts, uploaded

articles, discussions, groups, etc. Become active in their social media space

5-Develop CRM

Typical online job boards Jibber Jobber

seekers to manage their job search via an online method.– What can it do?

6-Measure Results Use Google Alerts & Analytics

– Alerts email updates of the latest relevant Google results based on your choice of query or topic and timeframe.

– Example: monitor news about a company or keep current on a competitor or industry. – Analytics runs reports on traffic (dashboard, new vs. return view)– http://www.google.com/alerts

     RSS Feeds (Really Simple Syndication)

– An RSS document ("feed", "web feed" or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship.

– Use RSS/ feed readers (Google reader, Bloglines, My Yahoo), which can be web, desktop or mobile device-based.

– Offer a way to get timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place.

– Protect privacy by not entering personal information online.– Place RSS icons at end of your posts.

Increase your number of RSS subscribers. Use a message such as “Like this article?” Reminds visitors that to stay updated, they should follow your feed.
