These days, it seems like just about everything happens online. You can get a job online, work that job online, pay all of your bills online, do your banking online, make friends online, watch movies online, and do your professional social networking online. Obviously, there are a lot of different options when it comes to finding a social networking website. You can choose to work within a social networking site that you already belong to, or you can seek out a professional networking website where you can focus solely on the professional end of your reality.

If you do choose to utilize a social networking website, then be aware that you are creating a profile for yourself that is both fun and interesting for people you’re into networking with socially, and also presentable for the professional side of things. Some things are obvious- you don’t want to post those drunken pictures of yourself from the weekend, no matter how much fun you’ve had or how great you think it would be to show the world that you can still do a keg stand. If the reasons for that aren’t obvious, let’s just say that the majority of potential employers do not look kindly on public drunkenness or evidence thereof. If you’re going to be drunk on the weekends, have fun, but don’t blast the news or evidence all over the Internet.

Likewise, there may be a level on which you don’t care for your professional life to bleed over into your social reality. Using a professional networking website, or even a combination, professional/social networking site can allow you the freedom to put yourself out there on a professional level without putting off all those guys who are actually into the personae who goes skydiving and drinks all weekend. You also have the opportunity to socialize with others who are in your own field, making professional connections that, while they may not have any bearing on employment or future projects, will be a rich part of your work in the field. This also increases your chances of making connections that will lead to future jobs or opportunities within the professional realm.

When it comes time to create your profile, do so in a manner that reflects where you intend to be. If you’re not yet at your dream job, pitch yourself as the right person for that job. It should go without saying that creating this profile for yourself should also be true to you- don’t lie about your abilities or your experience, simply place emphasis where you believe it belongs and will do you the most good.
