Developing your online profile

Many employers actively use social media to publicise opportunities and also engage with or find out more about potential employees, so make the most of your online presence:

  • Use social media to actively present yourself to potential employers and collaborators
  • Think about the skills, experience and achievements you want to emphasize, including links to relevant multi-media portfolios, films etc.
  • Follow organisations of interest to you to find out the latest news, events and opportunities 
  • Build and communicate with a network of professionals, e.g. from events you attend, people you meet 
  • Engage with relevant online sector communities 
  • Be wary of online job scams
  • Develop your skills through LinkedIn
