Web Presence

Creating a Web Presence is a very cool concept that I had never heard of before. It's basically your resume in a website version. This is very user-friendly and shows that you are more technology savvy, which all employers want now-a-days. Also, a great plus to creating a Web Presence is that you don't have to print a million pages when you're on a job hunt. You just tell someone where to go virtually and all the information is there. This is environmentally friendly as well as cheap for you. These are also great because you can include more information than if you were handing in a traditional resume. You can add pictures to this so it is easier for the employer to picture you in the setting as well as get a little insight to your work ethic. It also displays more personality. If you're choosing a salesperson and you have a very dry person with a great education and a very friendly person that looks comfortable making presentations, you are going to pick the one you can have the most confidence in. This concept is very unique and a great way to set yourself apart from the cookie cutter resumes and boring applicants.

In education, a Web Presence can definitely be used to find employment. Also, after you've started teaching, you can also keep it so that parents can look at it and know their child is in good hands. It helps the parents to have more confidence in your abilities as a teacher. Also, because it shows personality, it can help ease a parent's stress about parting with a child for the first time when they can visually see that you are a warm individual who is fully capable of educating their child. Also, you could make an assignment for kids to design less formal versions of the web presence. This could be used for getting to know your students better as well as the students getting to know each other better.
