The job market is more competitive than ever! Dozens ─ sometimes even hundreds ─ of candidates apply for the same position, so it’s essential to bring your A-game at all times.
One of the most effective ways to stand out is having a personal website. Creating a website allows you to expand your online presence, providing potential employers with a more in-depth look at your fit for the position. However, most candidates overlook this essential step.
3 Excuses that are Ruining Your Personal Branding Online
Not having a lot of luck in your job search? Your online presence ─ or lack thereof ─ could be to blame. Review these three common excuses to avoid ruining your personal brand:
I Don’t Need a Website
Do you want to have a competitive advantage on other candidates applying for the same jobs as you are? Of course you do! Having a personal website allows you to expand on your resume, giving hiring managers a detailed look at why you’re the best person for the job. Everyone submits a cover letter, resume and maybe even social media profiles, but not everyone can also include a link to their personal website.
Making a Website is too Hard
You don’t have to be a web designer to create a website. There are countless platforms out there, such as WordPress, that make creating your very own website quick, easy and sometimes even fre. Just follow the commands given and you’ll be up and running in no time at all.
I Don’t Have Anything to Put on a Website
Your website is your chance to present everything you have to offer to potential employers. Use this space to highlight your skills, achievements and experience to show that you’re a well-rounded candidate who is clearly the best choice for the job ─ any job on your radar.
