The benefits of an online profile
Why create any sort of online profile for yourself?

- You can create profiles that project what you want to be
known about you.

- To socialize, stay in touch with friends and family.

- To build a useful online network of contacts and become
more widely known for what you can do.

- To demonstrate as well as state your skills.
Shout about yourself – people can't know about you
until you tell them! Market yourself.

Your online profiles are spaces you control – use them to tell people what you
want to be known for.
Socialize, share knowledge and increase potential for
opportunities
Because it's nice to keep in touch, many heads are often better than one and you
never know who might know what!!
By talking about yourself online in an
appropriate way you are showing off your web   Volunteering Nuneaton and
skills and demonstrating an awareness of how   B31 Voices on Facebook.

You are also demonstrating other skills such as

it amongst your networks.          by freelance fitness instructor.
Things to think about with an online profile
Just as with crossing the road, there are some risks to posting online. It's
how you manage that risk that's important.

Do you want a potential employer to read that?
What you say online is more permanent than what you say down the pub.
                                                       [Photo by Garrett Coakley]
Check your account settings on personal profiles
Look at your profiles whilst logged out or view them as a 'non-friend' would see
them. Tighten the privacy settings to restrict access if you want to.
                                                                      [Photo by Ell Brown]
Are you being tagged in photos?
Or are friends writing on your Facebook wall or elsewhere online? Untag/delete
content if you can, request others to alter/delete content about you that you're
unhappy with.
                                                                    [Photo by Davi Ozolin]
What's your current online profile?
- Try doing a Google search for yourself. What comes up?
What might a potential employer think of the content?

- Do you have a Facebook profile? Go to your profile and click
'View as...' to see what the public can view about you.

- Use the resources at work.talkaboutlocal.org to help you
market yourself effectively online, build useful networks and
protect yourself from employers' inappropriate online
searching for your information.
