A resume is about whether or not you are qualified for a job, and what you can bring to a company. You are selling your experiences and your skills a lot more than you are selling yourself. Resumes are not always very good indicators of things like personality, how well someone performs under pressure, and whether or not they are a hard and intelligent worker. To a much greater extent than a resume, Facebook profiles and other social media give employers an explicit presentation of who you are as a person.
Among those aged 18 to 29, "owner" is the fifth most popular job title listed on profiles behind "server," "manager," "intern" and "sales associate." The title of "owner" beats out in popularity classic gigs like teacher, assistant, and sales rep--and its prevalence on Facebook shows exactly how strongly this generation self-identifies as entrepreneurial. William H. Saito in the August issue of the American Chamber of Commerce Japan Journal shared that only 12 percent of Japanese dream of being their own boss, versus 49 percent of Chinese. And where 73 percent of Americans respect entrepreneurs, only 32 percent of Japanese feel the same way.
Digitally Dissed Entering your name into a search engine yields little about you on the Web, but what exists is either negative or inconsistent with how you want to be known. In this case, attempt to get the off-brand content removed or remove it yourself Digitally Disastrous There is much information about you on the Web, but it has little relevance to what you want to express about yourself. This can be a challenge since it can be difficult to get irrelevant information to disappear. The information may also include results about someone else who shares your name. Digitally Dabbling There is some information on the Web about you that supports the personal brand you're trying to communicate but not a ton of it. What you have to do here is beef up the amount of on-brand information about you on the Web. Fortunately, this is an easy fix. You can do that by starting your own blog and updating it consitently, as well as creating a public LinkedIn profile Digitally Distinct This is the nirvana of online identity. A search of your name yields lots of results about you, and most, if not all, reinforce your unique personal brand. Keep up the good work, and remember that your Google results can change as fast as the weather in New England. So, regularly monitor your online identity.
We no longer live in a world where we are Six degrees of seperation (where any one person is connected to anybody else through fewer than six degrees of separation. Due to technology and this social media revolution we live in a world where we can know everyone and everyone can know us. We are all a click (or a pixel) away from one another. This means building relationships and turning these relationships into an online community is more powerful than ever before. What this means is that in this digital world we can grow our personal brand to have the size, power, audience and influence as a corporate brand without needing the huge marketing budget of a corporation.
