MSN: How to make your online persona more employable
In this article by Kathleen Furore, ReputationDefender CEO Rich Matta explains what you can do to take control of your online image and why it’s so important, especially when you are looking for a new job.
“Studies show that four in five people do an online search before interacting or doing business with others, and over 90% of these people never go past page one,” Matta says. “It’s vitally important that job seekers establish some degree of control over how they’re represented on the first page of their Google search results.”
