LinkedIn and VisualCV - Two great tools to get you noticed in the business world!
If you follow me on Twitter then you know why I've been absent here awhile... but I have two great new tools I need to take a moment to share with you!
LinkedIn is a professional social network with great potential to help you interact with other professionals and headhunters. My profile is listed here and I've made a lot of valuable connections since I started seriously working on it two weeks ago - right before I saw Dan Nye speak at Hamilton College. I really do mean to make the time to write that up... very cool info!
Visual CV is just that - an online CV (resume) on which you can place graphics, links, videos - there's no limit to how creative you can be in creating a visual, interactive representation of you and your talents! Saw this on John Jantsch's emailer... I can't wait to get into this program and upload a video with my new webcam monitor!
I'm thinking about holding local workshops for both so that I can help people that think they are tech-challenged get their info up "without stress"!
All for now, need to get back to work!

Hi Veronika,
After I read your blog I signed up on Visual CV and it took me a while to work my way around it. Linked In was not really effective, because I did not paid the monthly fee. I browsed around and found http://www.mayomann.com and uploaded my Video Resume. That site worked quite well and I was able to make good connections and got hired.
Thanks and keep up the work
Teresa

Thanks for taking the time to send me a comment! I checked out mayomann and it looks very user-friendly; I appreciate you passing this along to my readers!
Have you seen UStream? It's another free video site (not necessarliy for job seekers but for more entertainment or entrepreneurial pursuits.
Very happy to hear that site worked for you! I'm sure you've helped someone else just by mentioning this as another resource for job seekers.
Best Wishes,
