5 Tips for Maintaining Consistency Online - CareerEnlightenment.com

4) Tailor your brand to the companyJust dont go too far! Simply copying your resume verbatim into your LinkedIn profile is not a good idea.Sure, it avoids inconsistencies but it fails  to showcase your personality and even worse, can make you appear lazy and uncaring.Your  resume and profile should be complementary pieces to one another.You can make sure that  they share most of the same information while at the same time making the tone, presentation,  and overall feel completely different. Its OK to tailor your resume to the specific company or  position you are vying for and make it look different from the resume you submit to a different  company. Just make sure the facts on the resumes are the same as those on your online profiles!5) Look in the mirrorBut do it online! Before contacting potential employers or submitting  resumes, find out what you look like online! You wouldnt go into an interview without first  looking in the mirror, right? Well, you need to look at your online self just as carefully. You can begin by doing what most employers do: Google your own name. This is the first step in  establishing a baseline of the information about you which is readily available to others. Then  check every piece of information about you on every site you come up with and make sure it is  both accurate and consistent with what you intend to tell your interviewers.Consistency is not that hard to achieve. All it takes is a combination of honesty and diligence.  The candidate who is so impressive offline needs to be the same guy as his online counterpart  with the same name. He knows that he is the same guy and he is the one that can make sure his  future employer knows it too. Being truthful, careful, and thorough are the keys to maintaining  on and offline consistency.In his role in the self storage industry, Tim Eyre helps customers care for their cherished belongings that must be put in storage.
