I had the pleasure of being on the Career Clinician’s Radio show last week to talk about the importance of online identity and online networking in a job search. During this one hour show I answered the following questions:
- Can you explain to our listeners what you mean by the term digital footprint?
- How can job seekers find their digital footprint?
- How important is it in today’s tough economy for job seekers to “be found” on the Internet (talk about the importance of building online profiles and participating in social media / business networking sites)?
- What are the websites you recommend that job seekers have a presence on (LinkedIn, Google Profiles, ZoomInfo, Facebook, and Twitter)?
- Can you briefly tell our listeners the differences and benefits of each site you mentioned?
- Which sites are best for which type of job seeker?
- What are recruiters and / or employers looking for when they search for a candidate?
- Can you explain the term “digital dirt” to our listeners and how they can cover that up?
- What can a job search candidate do if they have a common name, such as John or Jane Smith?
- What privacy concerns should job seekers be aware of?
You can listen to the show here.
Loved the radio cast. Real hopeful info.

digital footprints are so much more than what you say about yourself – it is about what you say and what others say and all the data that tells be about you and your social behaviour, your attention, your location etc
