Boost Your Online Presence

👀 Be seen online in all the right ways when you’re hunting for your next legal job.

Here are 5 tips on how to do it:

1. Optimise your profile and create content on LinkedIn

Your LinkedIn profile serves as a virtual CV you can update any time and showcases your recent achievements. LinkedIn articles can also be read across multiple platforms.

2. Google yourself

What do people see when they search for you online? What are the first images that appear? The first website? Clean up, remove outdated content and check your privacy settings so prospective employers see what you want them to see.

3. Create a professional website or blog

Invite potential employers to view your website where you can curate your content yourself. Share your insights on a personal blog. A website or blog gives you the space to showcase your skills and values without the restrictions of a traditional CV or application form.

4. Contribute to online communities

Write articles, be a guest on a relevant podcast, appear in legal industry publications. This is a great way to position yourself as an expert in your field and get you noticed. It also makes you more discoverable online.

5. Be consistently active

Don’t post in a flurry, then lose momentum. Try to post regularly and often to build your online profile and remain relevant.
