You know how important it is to have an active, appropriate online presence. After all, recruiters screen candidates by evaluating their social media profiles — and you want to make sure that you’re not only being found on the Internet, but portraying your virtual self in a professional manner (same as you would in person).
That’s not to say that you can’t add elements of your personality. Your portfolio, website, LinkedIn, and more can showcase anything from your experience and passions, to your side hustle projects. But when it comes to having the total package, you can (and should!) use other pro’s profiles as inspiration to take yours from “okay” to “wow!” to up your chances of landing an interview, getting hired, or in some cases, getting promoted!
We’ve compiled a list of websites, social media profiles, bios, and more from our community members who turned their digital presence into a serious masterpiece. Use their sites and profiles as inspiration and start upgrading yours — before you seek feedback from our network of speakers and pros.
