Get a job using MySpace, Blogger or FaceBook

To get that interview and land the job include your URL to your site or social site. Show off what you can do with a website or a social site.

Research the company prior to your interview. Keep in mind that you potential employer may have already Googled you. If you included that URL they may already be impressed and have a lot more questions for you.

How you conduct yourself online and what sites you frequent gives your potential employer an idea of the potential asset or liability you could be.

Creating a blog about yourself is not that uncommon. I have interviewed many with websites; only to confirm that their knowledge was limited or should I say creativity was not there.

Not only can a personal blog speak about you and for you; this can free up some time during the interview, for you to highlight the information you have found on the company and how YOUR skills and talent can help the company prosper.

You do not need to spend money on creating a blog. You can visit sites such as

MySpace, Blogger or FaceBook and create a free site. Blogger has tons of layouts out there for you to customize your site.

Sure you are not applying for a programmer position or tech, but knowing how to navigate through the internet is can be difference you and the other applicant. This will get you to stand out from the crowd.

MySpace helped launch the career of Colby Caillat and the Jonas Brothers.

Here is a quote from Colby Caillat:

“With no marketing push and only the power of the music behind her, Caillat became a sensation on the social networking site. Last October when she had 6,240 friends, Rolling Stone highlighted her as one of the top female artists on MySpace.

Ultimately, Caillat became the #l unsigned artist for over four months and her number of friends swelled to more than 100,000. Her profile has been visited over 3 million times, and she has more than l0 million plays. As her online popularity grows, so does the recognition factor. “I’m not even famous yet and every time I go shopping, the young girls who work in the stores, they know who I am. They’ll ask, ‘Are you Colbie from myspace?’” she recounts with delight.”

Here is the link to the article on Ashley from Whateverlife and the Jonas Brothers

Here is an excerpt from the article:

“Last year, Steve Greenberg, the former president of Columbia Records and now the head of indie label S-Curve Records, witnessed the power of Whateverlife. Greenberg discovered Joss Stone, produced the Hanson brothers, and helped make Baha Men’s “Who Let the Dogs Out” an unofficial sports anthem. Last year, he decided to promote Jonas Brothers, an unknown pop trio, online instead of on radio. He turned to Nabbr, a company that had developed a viral widget, a small desktop application that plays videos and can be easily shared with other sites. It’s like “a music poster on a bedroom wall,” says Mike More, Nabbr’s CEO.

The widget made its Internet debut on Whateverlife. While surfing MySpace for leads, More had noticed how many Jonas Brothers fans used Whateverlife layouts. In less than two months, 60,000 fans transferred the Jonas Brothers’ three-part video from Whateverlife to their MySpace pages, in effect becoming 60,000 new distribution points. “This teenage girl in the Midwest got more views for our video than YouTube,” says Greenberg, 46. “It wasn’t even close.” The viral campaign encouraged fans to vote for the band on MTV’s Total Request Live, and the group’s song “Mandy” hit No. 4, unheard of without radio play.”

And this is the Shout out from the Jonas Brothers back in 2006 to Ashley aka ashbo
