Any job seeker believes that as long as you have a professionally written resume with a lot of great experience behind you, you will have no problem with finding a job. However because times are changing, along with technology, quite rapidly I may add- a beautifully written up resume filled up with not only great previous job experience but high quality education listed on there is not enough of a determining reason to think you will get hired on the spot.

While employers are still and always will look at your professionally written up russia phone number library resume, they are going to turn to other sources to determine whether you are worthy of being hired or not. That is, your social media profiles and online presence! Even if your resume is perfect, however your social media presence is far from it, that could be the very thing that could prevent you from getting hired. Here are some tips to help you create a high quality social media presence that will match your resume.

1. Present yourself on your Profiles as you would in a Job Interview - Unfortunately a lot of applicants are turned down because they have an unprofessional picture of themselves, or a random object, or worse even leave it blank on their social media profiles. A picture alone says a lot about you. You absolutely must upload a professional picture of yourself and keep it constant. Meaning- the same neat picture must be uploaded in your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus and any other account you have.

2. Your Profile Description is Just as Valuable as your Resume - You are not only going to want to tell your story, telling how you got to where you are now and what your passions are. However, you must list your contact, educational and past work experience on your Facebook, Google Plus and LinkedIn profiles. You may have some employers that you apply to not even look through a hard copy of your resume and will go right to your social media profiles to read up on you. Make sure you are prepared for that.
