Looking for a job? Your Web Presence promotes chances of getting hired

Looking for a job?

Then:

  1. Consider this Wall Street Journal article called " Recruiters Change Employee-Hunting Tactics - WSJ.com  http://ow.ly/3GXWr  
  2. Especially
  • recruiters throwing out their old playbooks. they are going out to hunt for candidates themselves.
  • and
  • hunting for candidates with a particular expertise on places like LinkedIn.com before they post an opening
  • and the last part:
  • "the company is currently reorganizing its recruiting staff to better handle the tens of thousands of applications it receives in a given month. Instead of using senior recruiters to filter through the company's applicants, lower-level screeners process them first and only hand off the most-qualified. A separate set of recruiters actively searches for more experienced candidates who aren't likely to come in through a job board."

So, it is time to consider promoting yourself (a.k.a. present yourself well), at least in LinkedIn, if not also the web in general.
