Job Searching: The Importance of Having a Personalized Website

When it comes to searching for a job, one thing that can make you stand out more than the rest who are turning in applications is having a simple, personalized website.  This website will contain a portfolio of your work or networks you are involved in and serves the purpose of giving potential employers a visual of your work.  Having a personal website alongside your resume will set you apart from those who only turn in resumes and could potentially persuade an employer to give you a job.  No matter what field you are planning on going in to, this is a great tool for anyone and doesn't really require a lot of work.  So, how do you go about doing it?

There is one website that has become well-known for its simple layouts and cheap prices, and that website is Flavors.  Flavors gives people the ability to make clean, simple websites with full access to features at a cost of just $20 a year.  It allows people to combine their social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, professional networks such as Linkedin, and portfolio networks such as Bandcamp or Vimeo all into one single web page.  This way, a potential employer can visit your website and navigate to any of your sites with just a click of a button.  If you purchase the premium account, you can also add a contact navigation button the people can click in order to email you right away.  Flavors makes it easy to setup your site and walks you through the steps on how to create it.  If you don't want to pay the $20, you can still create a website with Flavors for free without having access to as many features as you would if you were to pay.

After setting up your website, the next thing you want to do is get a domain name, which will be the URL of your website.  You can get a domain name from Go Daddy and then call them to have it transferred to your Flavors website.  These domain names can cost anywhere from $1-20 a year.  If you make a website, a domain name is a great investment because it gives people easy navigation to your website and a greater chance of remembering it.

  1. Thanks for sharing this nice post. job searching is the act of looking for employment, due to unemployment or discontent with a current position. The immediate goal of a person searching a job is usually to obtain a job interview with an employer which may lead to getting hired. The job hunter or seeker typically first looks for job vacancies or employment opportunities.
