Establishing Your Web Presence


February 5, 2012
Web Presence

Welcome to our first blog post!  This section of the site will be used to help our users better establish their web presence with tips and articles we write or find online.  We will also give you tips on where to look for jobs, maybe even post some job openings, and anything else we come across that we feel will be useful to the world.

Today, we want to talk about establishing your web presence as that is really what Two Way Resume is all about.  Recruiters are using the web to find talent and perform background searches.  It is important to claim your web presence before this becomes a mass trend as it protects you from other people with the same name who may claim it before you.

  • Dan Schawbel, contributor for Forbes magazine, mentions in his article, “5 Reasons Why Your Online Presence Will Replace Your Resume in 10 Years” that he expects “…an online presence search will be as common as drug testing.”
  • Reid Anderson, Vice President of Recruiting at Optimum Healthcare IT in Jacksonville, Florida, said during a phone interview that he does an online presence search for 100% of the people he hires and he “regularly” turns down an application because of what he finds, or doesn’t find, online.

Two Way Resume helps establish your web presence by providing you with a custom web address and customized website to help add professionalism to your name.  For more reasons why it is important to claim your web presence, checkout this article, http://www.forbes.com/sites/danschawbel/2011/02/21/5-reasons-why-your-online-presence-will-replace-your-resume-in-10-years/
