Building and maintaining your online presence is a key factor in succeeding as an independent consultant. Not only is it a way for employers to find you, it’s also a way to build your personal brand, express your commitment to the sector, and publicize your achievements.
Devex spoke with Yvette Gonzalez, independent consultant and managing director of Gonzalez Global Solutions, for her insights on how to build and maintain a good online presence to help you succeed in your career — and get you noticed by employers.
Professional profiles are the most obvious and common forms of online presence that everyone should have, particularly consultants who are frequently looking for new contracts. Leverage professional profiles to make those in your sector aware of your activities and availability, Gonzalez explained.
