The three most important words in real estate are: Location, Location, Location. In this digital age, it is all about exposure to market anything, EVEN YOURSELF.
Just imagine the power of being google'd by a prospective employer, to find a complete portfolio covering your information, work, and contact information. That's like a 24/7 available business card. Combine that with placing yourself "out there", using blogs, commenting on online posts, participating in mailing lists, creating your own web page, a MySpace account, and you are practically a walking (surfing?) advertisement.
Which brings us to the second important part, CONTENT. Nothing could be more damaging to you than having online presence, yet the quality of your content is so bad that it makes anybody change their mind even before getting to know you!!
I am reaping the benefits of good online presence, with (hopefully) good content, and i can tell you this: it is definitely worth it. Not just with prospective employers, but in all social and professional areas. Friends, colleagues, acquaintances all are getting a positive image and this reflects on ALL dealings. *wink*
