There are so many advantages of taking that step and creating a professional web presence. It gives your employer and clients an idea of who you are and what you are capable of. It is laid out for them to see your experience and even give them a taste of your personality. Linkedin is a great way to connect to people on a larger scale. Reaching a mass amount of people from your living room is so much more efficient than going door to door.
I also believe that there is a down side to having these sites. Although it gives you a good idea about a person it only takes the slightest detail to turn an employer off from wanting to hire you. Even though these websites can have advantages one big disadvantage is they are coming up with their own perception of you and everyone’s perception is different. The Personal Web page gets a little bit more intimate than Linkedin, which again could be good or bad depending on perspective. Being able to meet face to face can give off a complete and total different first impression than a web page.
So with the good also comes the bad. Overall I do believe the good outweighs the bad. Everyone should establish their web presence if they want to be successful in business. I know I will start attaching my personal webpage to any application or client that I meet.
Even if I were to lose out on a position because they did not like something on my website I believe everything happens for a reason. I am who I am and you can take it or leave it. Believe in your abilities and hopefully people will see that you are able to conquer all limits.
