The very fact that there are government offices with Social Media directors ought to be a clue we need to take out online lives much more intentionally.

I recall reading somewhere that if you manage to get an appreciable return from blogging in less than eight months, you’re swindling someone – or you’re breathtakingly good at what you do. It’s a good reminder about not just sticking with it, but using your online activities (the public ones anyway) as a weapon of advancement and opportunity.

I couldn’t agree more Justin. Everything we do online adds up to who we are as individuals and potential employees. Every tweet, blog comment, status update, etc. tells a story of who we are.

I’ve been contacted by recruiters who found me and contacted me through Facebook, not LinkedIn and the other usual suspects. I regularly Google my name to make sure everything is cool. Luckily for me, my blog is the #1 listing, with my actual resume PDF the #2 listing. I see my blog as my resume more than the actual document, but all of the comments I leave on other blogs and tweets I publish can be just as important.

Thanks for the reminder of how important this is!

This is why I laugh when I get forwarded a resume.

If you were good? I could Google you and see examples of your work.

If you are invisible? I’ll naturally think your hiding something.

Too bad HR hasn’t figured this out…and still sends craptastic Advertising majors to me looking for Community/Social geared jobs.
