Google Yourself. What do you find? Make sure to check “images” and “videos”
Facebook/Twitter/Social Media—what “face” have you put forward?
YouTube—what videos have you created? Liked? Appeared in?
Your Digital PersonaPositives and Negatives
Photographs with questionable content, gestures, locations, clothing
Status updates, tweets, or comments with graphic, profane, racist, sexist, or derogatory denotation or connotation◦ What you thought was “funny” does not translate
in the business world.◦ Always err on the side of conservitivism
Political or religious support or condemnation
“likes” or links to questionable content
Make sure there are NO:
Evidence of your talents—if you are applying for a singing position, employers will look you up on YouTube
A professional email address A well crafted and proofed digital resume Professional Voicemail message Social media sites that are locked at the
highest “privacy” setting References with impeccable ethos
Make sure you DO HAVE
DO: Include part of your name
[email protected] references scholarly
[email protected]@webhost.com
DON'T:Include inappropriate references
[email protected]@[email protected]
Your Email Persona
Phone Number--Cell or Home? Who will answer? HOW to answer...
Message--Name, request message, Closing
YES: "Hello, you have reached Marcus Jones. I am sorry that I have missed your call. Please leave your name, number, and a brief message and I will return your call as soon as possible.“
NO: "Hey, its your bro Maaarcuuus! Leave it at the beep!"NO: MusicNO: Funny movie quotes or jokes
Your Telephone persona
Same Day Same Format—email=email, phone=phone NO TEXT RESPONSES. Be prepared with available times to meet for an
interview Talk with a pencil in hand Take note of the speaker’s NAME, and thank
them by NAME when you close the conversation EDIT your emails before sending. Twice. Make sure your email is properly formatted with
a subject title, greeting, and your full name and contact information in the closing.
Responses:
Ask about pay or salary Ask about time off or vacation Ask about perks
EVER bad-mouth any former boss, teacher, or coworker—no one wants to hire someone mean spirited
Use intimate or private voice—Always use the public voice in interviews, resumes, emails, and conversations
DO NOT:
Save in multiple formats--.doc, .docx, .pdf (you can do this in the “save as” tab of Word)
Have at least two other people read and proof it for errors…any resumes with spelling or grammar mistakes end up in the trash
Formatted correctly, with all pertinent information—use a resume building site
Tailor each resume to the job you are applying for: your Target resume should be different than your daycare resume.
