Building an Effective Online Presence Building an Effective Online Presence Typepad wants you to put your resume online using their service and in promoting this idea, they gave me the perfect starting point to say this: YOU CANT JUST STICK YOUR RESUME ONLINE AND CALL THAT A WEB PRESENCE! Sorry for yelling but this is really important. Click here to see what Typepad is promoting as a good use of their service to create a resume. That is HORRIBLE! Not only is it boring from a design perspective but the resume is badly written. And theres nothing more online than was in the original resume!. What is the point?? Just after I saw this, I stumbled upon this post about the importance of a LinkedIn profile. Yes! I agree! But then I read this: If you are not the world’s best writer, hire one to help you. By that I mean hire a college student or put out an ad on Craig’s list or eLance to find a good writer.
