Websites and Video Clips
Do you have a real website yet? You will ... resistance is
futile.
Take control of your online identity and interview while you
sleep. The ongoing cost of a REAL website is about $150 per
year. Get over it.
Have only one version of your
resume and put it on your website. It can be hidden, visible, or available only by request. Those
with the URL will always see the latest and greatest version.
Keep in mind that decision-makers are 50x more likely to
visit
your website than call you ... and when they do
visit your website, only 13% look at your resume.
Video clips
Imagine what happens when two equally qualified job seekers
reach a decision-maker who might want to hire them.
- The first sends an electronic letter with a resume and
an email address of TheirName@AOL.com.
(aka amateurs online)
- The second sends a value proposition
on engraved stationery and
mentions TheirWebsite.com. Coincidentally, their website has a video clip,
case studies, a resume and more.
Which candidate do you think they'll call?
Video clips have unstoppable momentum. It's not that they're
coming, they're already here. If a picture is worth a thousand
words, what's a video clip worth ... a million?
If you want to make a first-class impression on a prospective
employer, get a website and add a video clip. Demonstrate your initiative, creativity, and
predilection for being proactive.

website when they search for someone
who does what you do. You might even
show up in "pay per click" with
Google Adwords. |
