What is great about having your own website is that you can control exactly what content is displayed, unlike other sites, where you have limited visibility settings. Additionally, you have theme options, layouts, and fantastic specialized characteristics you can apply to your own website to showcase your unique qualities. Employers want to learn about YOU, and this is the best way to do this. I saw an incredible and unique resume created on Prezi (http://prezi.com/dihomt0w9b9s/jennifer-elston-resumecv/). There are many ways to make your talents and skills, many of which can only be done if you are in complete control.

Where to start? I’ll just cherry pick a couple of juicy points you made!

1. Great point about the ‘deep web’ and what it knows about you! This may seem eerie to some, but it should mean just the opposite! — a wonderful opportunity to expand their visibility and value. Thanks for sharing Polymeta.com – I had not heard of that site until now.

2. “An online presence can grow and change along with your career and help attract people to learn more about you.” <– This is SO true, and folks can have a fun time in the process of creating Me-dot-com! The world is their oyster, really.

Thanks for all you do in the industry, including your new GetASocialResume.com product, a value to any careerist!

Best,
Jacqui

Every time I read something you’ve written, I learn something new. Every time! Thanks for being such a marvelous resource to both job seekers and your peers. (Yet another benefit of social media involvement!!)
