By now, most professionals and job seekers know not to post incriminating pictures on the web for employers to view. But what about using the Internet proactively in your job search? 

Online networking involves using web resources to connect with people to help further your own career goals, and at the same time help others reach their goals. These web resources can include blogs, websites, discussion groups, listservs, and social and professional networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn. 

Online networking has many similarities to traditional networking, but it is a tool that is available 24 hours a day and has an unlimited geographic scope. Of course, simply setting up a profile on LinkedIn is not going to bring in a flood of job offers – rather it is one part of an overall networking strategy. It can enable you to identify people who can help with your job search process, and make you more visible to others who may be seeking your expertise.
 
What can you do to get started? 
  • Create a LinkedIn profile and use it to connect with former colleagues, people you meet at live networking events, and other professional contacts. “Beef up” your LinkedIn profile by including a job summary, creating a vanity URL that you can include in your e-mail signature, joining groups, and obtaining third party recommendations. 
  • Register on Facebook and reconnect with old friends and classmates. Think you’re too old for Facebook? Many corporations and government agencies have started using Facebook pages as recruiting tools. 
  • Stay up to date on new developments in your field. If you read an article or a blog post that interests you, contact the author. 
  • Join career-related and other organizations, and sign up for their e-mail lists so you receive invitations to events. Attend the events for some in-person networking. There is no need to limit yourself to professional organizations – you never know when a fellow dodgeball player will happen to work in your field. 
  • Start a blog or write an online article on a subject of interest to you that is relevant to your chosen career path. Develop an area of expertise and people may start contacting you for advice. 
 
Whatever strategies you implement online, be sure to remain professional. While you may choose to share more information than would be found on your resume, refrain from getting too personal. Never post anything you would not want a potential employer to view – and routinely “Google” yourself to see what type of information is out there should an employer choose to search for your name. 
 
Devote some time over the next few weeks to establishing an online presence. You may be surprised to find that that guy who sat next to you in your high school art class is now married to the CEO of your dream employer.

Coinfx market is a big scam broker, i paid a huge amount of $70,000, they persuaded me, into putting more of my hard earned money with all hope to get profits in return, they won’t allow me to make a withdrawal of my investment, all because all they wanted is to steal my money, i got advised to file a refund case against them, which to my greatest surprise i was able to withdraw my money, i contacted a recovery expert { MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL. COM } and his team of recovery experts, they where able to assist me with the withdrawal of my money, and restore my funds, they are very responsive, and you can reach out to him for help also, i know am not the only one who has fallen victim, people out there might also need this information!!

My name is CLARA JAMES .I want to give thanks to PRIEST WISDOM for bringing back my ex husband.No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic.

My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn't face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again . I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with PRIEST WISDOM. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. PRIEST WISDOM makes him realize how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well , in our love life . contact email  Supernatura [email protected] or text or add him up on whatsApp at: +2348124644470 his web page https://supern aturalspell21.blogsp ot.com/ or go to his page https://web.fa cebook.com/PRIESTWIS DOM11

Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email [email protected] or Call/WhatsApp cell number +2347012841542

Special thanks to HACK VANISH, a professional hacker I’ve been hiring for the past 2 years because, I find him to be an outstanding hacker who has aided me in various hacking-related issues, ranging from fixing my poor FICO credit score of about 437 TransUnion, 462 Equifax to 802 plus excellent score, tracking my cheating husband’s phone and currently has helped me recover my lost crypto funds from an online scam investment I recently ventured into, I must confess he is the best, quite brilliant, ever since I discovered him through a positive review I saw on Wallet Hub and reached out to him via Email: HACKVANISH @ GMAIL. COM, and Phone: +1(747) 293-8514, to which he responded in less than 10mins, I have never regretted working with him, he’s been quite helpful and highly efficient. I Would recommend his services to anyone without hesitation.
