Why have a virtual resume?
As Linked In approaches 200 million users there are a couple of points you should consider. Social Media is not going away! It is neither the fad nor the waste of time some people consider. It may at first feel like reaching into a hat to find the rabbit, but that rabbit is in there! Really!
Recruiters are actively searching Linked in for candidates. There are positions out there that do not make the newspapers or are found in your Internet searches. Want to be considered for those?
Linked in as your online Resume
While making it much easier for you to be found online by a company who wants your skill set, Linked In can make your life easier in your search. Many online application sites contain a link where your already tweaked resume can be downloaded onto an application with the touch of a button! How great is that?
Do it Right, do it Once but keep it Up to Date.
Having an outdated profile on Linked In is like constantly submitting an old resume for a job. Don't do it!
Scan your profile and make changes as necessary. Also see who is checking you out.
