Creating a personal career web site can be rewarding and challenging. The first thing you should do is copy your résumé onto a Spotlet template.
Here are some additional tips that can add pizazz to your site:
- Can you describe what makes you valuable to an employer in 10 words or less? Give it a try and use the statement personal profile.
- How can you highlight your résumé on the Web that's different than in print? Could you select your own "brand colors?" Can you highlight certain skills?
- Do you have a flattering, professional picture of yourself? If so, use it on your personal career Web site.
- Do you have electronic work samples and references? If so, include them as downloads or links.
