Over the past three years a lot of things have changed, especially with the social media realm. If you applied to all of those jobs today and sent them your personal professional website or blog their reactions would be a lot different. With over 84% of employers going online to find more information on potential job applicants you will definitely have the upper hand. <br><br>This can apply to a lot of different expertise ranging from being a graphic designer with a portfolio online to being a marketer showing off your networking and social media intellect.
