If they do not see you, you do not exist. If you are not on the Internet, you do not exist.
What happens when you search for your name on Google? What comes up?
Imagine your name is Ana García Giménez (we made it up). There are thousands of Ana García Giménez in Spain—how can you stand out, and how can you position yourself as the Ana García Giménez you want people to know you are? Your work should be focused on having an online presence, on social media, so that when they search for someone with your profile, you appear and they choose you as their first option.
Having a presence on professional social networks is an added value you can use to offer what interests you; what is more, they will now be able to access your profile even from a mobile phone.
Given the track record we have and the path that has been set, in a few months we will witness a significant change in the way people find employment and promote the services we offer; whether you are a freelancer or want to be an employee of a prestigious company, networks will bring you together with professionals in the sector.
Build your reputation, be REcognised, create your profile in professional communities (LinkedIn, Xing, Viadeo…), manage it, keep it updated, and you will gain visibility and receive interesting responses.
