Gone are the days when you actually have to get on your feet to search for a job. Today, sometimes all you have to do is create an account in some job sites, upload you resume and start browsing and applying to the jobs available, it’s that simple.
However, in entering the online trade, you have to know the endless possibilities in the virtual world, because this time it’s not about what your resume can say about you, its about what you can show.
Say you are applying as a graphic artist in a website developer. Sure you have good credentials and notable people to recommend you, but right now that is not really what the employer wanted to see. Although your resume is more admirable than that of your competitors, but if they have presented in a virtual manner their own portfolio, then I guess that would put them in the forefront!
Right now, having an online portfolio could be as easy. You don’t need to pay for your website since social networking sites could already work for you. Plus, it would be an edge if you would consider having a custom design layout, say on the biggest networking site, MySpace.
A custom MySpace design defines who you are and sets you above the rest! This leaves an impression on your prospective employer thus giving you more chance to be hired. What’s more is that by conceptualizing your personalized MySpace page, your artistic prowess is challenged, thus enhanced even more!
