Businesses commonly scour the internet for more information about you. You can call this a background check or simple curiosity. Be aware that your online reputation will play a part in whether you get the job or not. You need to get your name out there, with a positive presence, so employers will be impressed by your resume of skills. Here are a few ways to get started.

A good resume blog will showcase your future goals, projects you have finished, application of skills, and your embrace of technology. Your resume blog should include any information that will help an employer get a better sense of your character.

This can be portrayed through the use of personal projects or larger scale projects with a company. If you have graphs, charts or pictures relating to the projects, this is your chance to get imaginative.

If you are a graphic designer or someone in a field related to visual communications, you should be taking advantage of every medium out there. Put pictures and graphics on your resume along with text that can convey your style and skills. You may think the addition of pictures makes a resume look childlike and unprofessional. This is far from the case. Even an unorthodox resume layout can garner more attention.

Buy a couple of advertisements on popular social networking sites like Facebook. Create a good sales pitch and tagline to your resume advertisement. Make sure it’s targeted to the job employers you are seeking. Put your best skills on the ad without sounding too generic. For example if you are a programmer, put something like “John Smith, C++/PHP programmer willing to code for you.” Put the position you seek in the title and make sure your name is in the advertisement. Then direct the ad to your resume blog. Any prospective employers will be able to read more about your skills and projects.

Make a video. If you are willing to talk on video, you can sign up with popular video streaming sites like YouTube and express your desire to work. These are only a few of the new resume techniques people are using.
