Beyond the 9-5

Paul,

I totally agree with doing what’s right for your life. My post was geared toward doing what you have to do to reach your potential. For some it might not be applicable to their career and that’s a choice each of us make. It’s not about being famous or being rich, its about self actualization.

Your Brand - Is your presence online hurting or helping you?

David – I agree, it’s not all about social networking. Those other sites mentioned are however online and if it makes sense for your brand to be there, that’s online reputation and marketing too.

Your Brand - Is your presence online hurting or helping you?

All – I appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this topics. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough in my post. My intent in this post was to show that the internet is a viable way to market yourself to employers and make sure that your online reputation is strong in case you ever need it. The internet plays a role in the hiring (and firing) of employees and I think it is something for everyone, regardless of profession, to take into consideration. The level of value, as Dan says in the comments above, in proactive marketing of your brand online most likely depends on your profession.
