The Importance of Marketing Yourself Online While Job Searching

With the grim economical news coming from Dubai, the job market continues to be a difficult one. The latest collapse of what seemed to be a thriving economy would undoubtedly result in significant job loss, as corporate restructuring will go into affect.

Maintaining a strong Google CV is not only important for one’s online reputation but it can also be a helpful tool when applying for a new job. It has become considerably easier and faster for employees to “Google” someone than to pick up a phone and ask for recommendations.Professionals who maintain a positive business image online would have an easier time impressing prospective employers than people who do not have any web presence at all.

A recent survey by Harris Interactive for CareerBuilder.com shows that researching of potential candidates on social networks by managers and human resource staff, has doubled in the past year alone. A social network such as LinkedIn or a guaranteed visibility online tool such as LookupPage can rank extremely well on search engines and provide an additional positive result when a job applicant is being searched online by an employer.

Creating a LookupPage that highlights the attributes of a candidate as well as provides links to online reports, pictures and recommendation letters can make the difference between being called back for an interview and being looked over. Another advantage of creating an online resume is that it can be accessed at any time of day and from just about anywhere. Finally, LookupPage Pro users receive a unique domain name as well as comprehensive user statistics about who has been searching for them online. This is without a doubt a great online tool for job seekers!

Re-writing of a resume involves

 Paraphrasing the content without distorting the substance

 Re-arranging of the presentation for great visual appeal

This makes resume re-writing a highly-skilled job , best left to expert / professional resume-writers.

But converting one's plain text resume into

 8 visual / analytical graphs

 Re-arranging these graphs into thousands of unique combinations

- and doing this Online / Automatically / Instantly , is something impossible without the help of an intelligent software - which also highlights the keywords !

It took me quite some time to develop precisely such a software – then make it freely available to all at
