Syncing Your Online Presence

Each time you update your resume, you need to make sure you update your entire online presence. It amazes us how many alumni still have themselves listed as current law students in their Facebook bios months after graduation. Unfortunately, this just looks sloppy to employers who are trying to gauge how well you take care of your online presence. So start a habit now that every time you update your resume, you also update your entire online presence, including (though not limited to):

• LinkedIn Profile
• Membership Organizations & Directories (alma mater alumni groups, neighborhood, etc.)
  
• Your email signature line
  
• Online Resumes (on personal pages and in job engines like USAJobs.gov or Monster.com)
• Google/Yahoo!/Hotmail profiles
  
• Blog/Twitter/Facebook/MySpace bio
• Plaxo, etc cards
