"Job hunting is now primarily online, with most candidates showcasing themselves through a strong digital presence. If you’re not doing the same, it’s time to start."
Your Online Profile Is an Extension of Your CV
Today’s HR teams and hiring managers almost always check the internet for information about interviewees. That means having a strong, professional presence on platforms like LinkedIn—and carefully managing your visibility on personal sites like Facebook—is essential.
To make sure your online profile works for you rather than against you, follow these tips:
Use a recent, professional-looking profile photo.
Ensure your profile information aligns with your CV.
Keep summaries clear and concise, highlighting key projects and achievements.
Request recommendations from trusted colleagues, clients, or managers.
Demonstrate industry engagement by contributing to relevant discussions.
For personal platforms, tighten security settings and avoid content that could harm your professional image.
