Internet Presence - When And How To Start Building Yours - by Ron Bates.

"Internet Presence - When And How To Start Building Yours" - by Ron Bates.

I just put up an article as a result of a number of questions I get from young professionals wondering when and how they should start investing time in building a visible Internet presence in support of their career objectives.

My advice: Start Now!

Today's job environment is far different from when I was starting my career as an engineer +20 years ago. When I was about 3 years into my career, an IBM PC had a whopping 10 MB hard drive, and you could even create a resume on one and print it out. Today, well, let's just say you can do a lot more on a PC.

As an executive recruiter, I'd also say today's job market is even more challenging for a young professional than when I got my start some +20 years ago. Technology is dramatically contributing to this rate of change across all professions.

The Internet is impacting all facets of information research for those who are looking for answers to questions that start with: who, what, when, where, why, and how.

Most business professionals get paid to answer questions and solve problems, and the Internet is a likely place people go for answers, or at least to get a running start.

That pretty much translates into being associated with the answers/solutions to the questions/problems as being a good thing from a career visibility/opportunity perspective.

Business professionals who are not leveraging the Internet to create this kind of association/visibility for themselves are doing themselves no favors from a career/opportunity perspective.

Even if it's a late start compared to where you are in your career, now is the time to start.

There's good news: no matter where you are in your career - it's pretty straightforward to do this leveraging Ecademy.

Happy Networking,
