Nowadays, it is becoming more and more important to have a web presence. Having a web presence means that you have some sort of presence on the web, whether it be just within social networks, or having accounts on professional resume-sharing websites. For this week, we had to create our own professional web presence. Most students only have a presence in social networks, so this was new for almost all of us. Someone can use their professional web presence to help find a job or any other networking opportunities. This makes their credentials viewable by many more people and can help them immensely.
When I graduate, I hope to work in another state or maybe even abroad. I can use my professional web presence to contact people from far away and hopefully stand out by using samples of my work and embedding them on my site. I could also use this professional blog to demonstrate my skills in technology and education. This can be very helpful in getting to know people that are very far away and give me many new opportunities.
This video I have embedded is a 9 minute clip that shows an interview with a woman named Rebecca Cruz. She talks about the importance of a small business maintaining a web presence. She stresses how it can affect the success of your business in great ways and how completely necessary it is to have a presence. She says that the internet is more popular than the yellow pages for finding information about businesses.
