The simplest and most direct way to start is with a strong LinkedIn profile. Then actively use LinkedIn to grow your network, and to get and give recommendations – all of which can improve your Google results. <BR/><BR/>Other methods for improving Google results, while establishing your professional expertise, are to publish a blog and/or comment on blogs published by people in your field. This may seem like a lot of work, but when you consider that increasing numbers of recruiters are “googling” candidates, it can have a positive impact … well, as long as it’s done in a positive, professional, and on-brand way. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of online identity and branding, I strongly recommend folks read “Career Distinction: Stand Out By Building Your Brand.” Learn more here: http://www.careerdistinction.com/. <BR/>Soon the “Career Distinction” web site will list the names of Personal Branding Strategists who can help individuals use branding and online identity as a career management strategy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
