Using the web to demonstrate your skills

Networking for Work: http://networkingforwork.org.uk
Using the web to
demonstrate your skills
- Creating your own online spaces to illustrate what you can
do: some vivid examples of people using blogs, visuals and
video to illustrate their skills and an outline of our resources
to help you do the same.

- Networking yourself and your skills online: examples of
people using Facebook and Twitter to market themselves to
their target audiences and an outline of our resources to help
you do the same.
Having a good CV is
essential for job-hunting
but by using online tools
you can bring the written
word to life. Use tools
such as blogs to show as
well as tell potential
employers what you're
capable of.

What is a blog?
- Blogs are websites that are easy to
create and regularly update.

- There are many blogging platforms you
can use to quickly create a free, hosted
website. All you need for sign-up is an
email address.

 - Blogging platforms such as Wordpress
have very simple user interfaces,
meaning you don't have to know any
nasty code to make them work for you. If
you can use email confidently or shop
online, you can easily create and use a
blog.
An online space you can make your own
Tom Baker runs a small community bakery in Birmingham and has
used a simple Wordpress blog to create a website to demonstrate his
specialist skills, outline his bakery's services and engage customers.

'before and after' shots, on her Juniper Ash Decorating website,

Advantages of using the web to bring your CV to life:

which you can use to highlight and show off your skills and
successes.

- If updated regularly, these online spaces will rank highly in a
Google search for your name, so will help form an impressive,
professional online profile.

- You can use social networks such as Facebook and Twitter to
connect with people, network yourself locally/within your chosen
industry and demonstrate your knowledge to potential employers.
