Your online profile is the third component of a compelling marketing campaign. An online profile serves two functions:

  1. It’s a marketing tool for the passive job search because the majority of recruiters use online profiles to find qualified candidates.
  2. It’s a great networking tool because you can connect with friends, family, former coworkers, and current schoolmates and stay in touch with them easily regardless of where you or they live or work.
