How to stand out to employers online is frequent question and subject for job seekers. It’s one of the hardest things to do on the Internet since there is so much noise competing to be heard. The day has come to show how you add value to employers, peers, and prospective connections online.  There are job seekers who want to be noticed but not sure how they can be heard. I bought Hanna Morgan back on the show to discuss how to appeal to employers online.

You are more than welcome to join the discussion. Here are three ways you can:

– Call and leave a voicemail at 708-365-9822, or text your comments to the same number
– Go to TheVoiceofJobSeekers.com, press the “Send Voicemail” button on the right side of your screen and leave a message

Hannah Morgan, the founder of CareerSherpa.net where she provides legendary advice on job search, personal branding, and online visibility and reputation management. She also writes about careers for U.S. News and World Report.
Here are some of our discussion highlights:
  • Become well known for something because it’s personal branding, but be the go-to source, be relied on
  • Treat people well, treat everyone with tact and respect
  • Likability factor is important – What’s the use of being the smartest in the room if no one wants to talk to you
  • Is what I am saying resonating with employers?
  • The airport test: Can I see myself stranded with this person?
  • Is getting attention means getting hired?
  • The right thinking process: job seekers should think long-term than for now
  • Become a facilitator – orchestrate introductions – bring people together
  • Lend your voice to the industry at large – productive relationships are long-term
  • A connection online means nothing without it going beyond
  • A newsletter to your contacts (through your website) keeps you and contacts engage
  • How to stand in your industry? Is each one different? Makes a difference in how often and who is your audience
