Week 10- Professional Web Presence

What do you think is the biggest mistake people make on their "about me" page?
The biggest mistake people make when creating their about me page is that they don't really tell much about the person. There is a balance people should have between not revealing who you are but maybe including content that sheds a bad light on you.

What advice would you give job seekers in regards to their online presence?
Watch out that you keep it professional and make sure that you have someone look over it. By having someone look at it, it gives you a perspective on what other may think of you when they see your page. Make sure they are honest, because it could mean saving your job.

How "professional" would you rate your Facebook/Myspace Page?
As a journalist, I am inviting people to look at my profile and be curious about what I am doing. I make sure to keep it professional because a lot of possible employees could see it and I want to make sure it doesn't ruin my chances of getting a job. I would say it doesn't have any inappropriate content.
