SELaplana >> Internet >> Web Presence Will Help You Find Job

This blog is obviously the proof of my presence in the web. By just looking at the title of this blog, you can immediately tell that this blog is owned by me. SELaplana is actually my name. S for Sustines, E is my middle name and Laplana which is my family name.

If you’ll search my name “Sustines E. Laplana” using the Google search engine, you’ll find this blog on the top most rank of the Google SERP (as shown on the screenshot below) and is followed by my articles published by Reprint sites such as ARTICLECITY.COM, EZINEARTICLES.COM, etc.

So, what’s the good thing of it?

According to Mary Brandel of the Computer World, most of the recruiters do search the search engine (even social network sites like friendster, myspace etc) to check out job candidates:

In a 2006 survey by executive search firm ExecuNet in Norwalk, Conn., 77 of 100 recruiters said they use search engines to check out job candidates. In a CareerBuilder.com survey of 1,150 hiring managers last year, one in four said they use Internet search engines to research potential employees. One in 10 said they also use social networking sites to screen candidates. In fact, according to Search Engine Watch, there are 25 million to 50 million proper-name searches performed each day.

Which means, having proofs of your presence on the web will help you find job.

But how about those who actually participated online activities such as blogging, foruming, social networking etc. but are hiding in anonymity?

According to the article, it will only bring you to the negative side.

In today’s job market, turning up missing on the Web may not be a fatal flaw, and it’s probably better than having a search result in a photo of you in a hula skirt. But over time, the lack of a Web presence — particularly for IT professionals — may well turn from a neutral to a negative, says Tim Bray, director of Web technologies at Sun Microsystems Inc.

And their tips are (using your full professional name):

1. Do some searching about you on the major search engines and study the result.
2. Create blog
3. Create online profile
4. Join Friendster, Facbook, Myspace
5. Join Forums
6. Join Digg, Slashdot and other similar sites
7. Build a webpage (other than blogs)
8. Join any community
