How To Create An Online Resume
This is the age of the Internet. No matter what type of job you
are looking for, it is necessary that you have a copy of your
resume online. An online resume or digital resume saves time and
energy. Your resume website link can be easily emailed to anyone
that requests it. Having an online presence in most instances
will make it easier for you to secure a job in a much shorter
time.
In order to display your online resume, it will be necessary to
create and design a very basic website. There are many places
online that offer web hosting, and you might choose one of these
places to create a website address to host your resume, but
there are several other options to consider.
If you are not able to create and design a website for yourself,
it is necessary to hire someone to do this for you. However, if
you are not able to create either a resume or a website by
yourself, hiring someone is definitely recommended. A website
that looks professional will help your chances to secure a
better job with a higher pay.
The least expensive option for creating an online resume may not
cost you any additional money at all. Most online providers now
include one or more personal websites in the subscription cost.
Many of them allow as many as five personal sites per account
with easy to use software. In fact, you may be able to simply
upload the text version of your resume directly from your
computer.
When creating an online resume it is recommended that you
include all of the necessary parts of the paper version of your
resume. This would mean including your education written in
chronological order, your previous employment history, and any
awards that you have received. Just because your resume is
online, does not mean that it should not be formatted correctly.
After you have created a website with your online resume, the
next important step is to direct potential employers to your
website. This would include emailing your website address to
employers when doing a job search, as well as including the
address when writing to enquire if a company is hiring.
There are numerous career and job posting websites on the
Internet. Search under the terms "job seeker" or "career seeker"
and you will receive links to thousands of websites. I suggest
you begin with those in your home city by narrowing your search
by adding the name of your city to the search term, for example,
"job seeker Philadelphia" or whatever job location you desire.
Get started today and you may have some solid leads in just a
few days. It's easier than you think.
