You must take control of your
professional brand online
• We live in a connected world; don’t try to hide
• Google exposes lots of information about you
• But you can control what appears at the top of
search results for you
• Professional brand SEO:
– Maintain updated, on-brand public profiles
– Generate relevant, on-brand online activity

Example: Googling me reveals my
professional brand

Social Media marketing for careers:
Tell a story
• Paper CVs are static, boring
– They are seen once and kept or [usually] discarded
– This is a direct sales push marketing tool
• Your online professional brand is dynamic,
engaging
– It tells an ongoing story of your goals, successes
– People can follow, share, and even participate in
your story
– This is a brand pull marketing tool
19
Social Media marketing for careers:
Tell a story
• Use content publishing media
• Use status updates on social networks
20
Social Media marketing for careers:
Be transparent, open, honest
• Share failures as well as successes
• Share vulnerabilities, fears as well as goals
• It makes you more human, believable
• It makes your story more engaging
• People will line up to help you out!
21
Social Media marketing for careers:
Don’t just talk; listen
• Your brand is interactive; participate in
communities and discussions
– Increases your brand’s credibility
– Keeps your finger on the pulse of your area
– Subtly promotes your brand to target market
• Research hiring managers, execs, potential
business partners in advance (Tool
recommendation: rapportive)
22
Social Media marketing for careers:
Don’t just talk; listen
• Retweet relevant articles, tweets
• Comment/like/share relevant posts on social
networks
• Join relevant groups on social networks
• Tool recommendation: Quora
23
Social Media marketing for careers:
Measure, measure, measure
• You can’t manage what you don’t measure!

your career objectives, for example:
• Personal website/blog
• Twitter Followers
