A Great Online Identity = More Job Opportunity and More Career Options

In our last couple of blog posts, we've addressed the subject of properly building an online identity.

Specifically, we drew a correlation between your online identity and The Matrix movie series and we also discussed the link that exists between your online identity and your personal brand.

However, there's one big reason why you should be carefully constructing and maintaining your online identity, and that's because not everybody is doing so. In fact, by some estimates, far less than 50% of people are taking the time to build their online identity.

Why bring this up? Because everybody should be building a comprehensive online identity. After all, the Internet isn't going away anytime soon, and competition in the job market is certainly fierce at the moment and might get more so in the weeks and months ahead. In fact, there's reason to believe that level of competition will remain, no matter how much the economy recovers and grows.

Building your online identity is all about opportunity. It doesn't matter whether you're looking for a new job right now or not looking for a new job. Everybody likes to have more opportunities and more options.

• If you're looking for a new job, then you're looking for new opportunities on an almost daily basis. You welcome them, and a complete and impressive online identity can increase the chances that you'll find such opportunities.
• If you're not looking for a new job right now, then you're not actively looking for new opportunities, at least not in a way that consumes a large amount of your time. However, an online identity can still help to create more of the opportunities you want.

So remember - you can't take advantage of an opportunity for advancement if that opportunity doesn't exist. Building and maintaining an online identity that brands you in the best fashion possible gives you a competitive edge in the marketplace and a head start in your quest for more satisfying work and a more fulfilling career journey.
