Your Digital Footprint Now Fits In One Shoe

Whether you like it or not, it’s time to face the facts: you will be searched online before someone interviews or hires you.  And if we’re being honest, at the rate society is moving, possibly even before someone chooses to date you.  So, what do you want them to see?

You probably manage a number of personal social media platforms that portray almost every aspect of your life in one way or another.  But what if there was a way to link all your social media accounts to one place and create a multidimensional, interactive, graphical biography that conveys only the best of you?  Now, there is.  It’s called Vizify.

The name was formed from the combination of visualizing, realizing and clarifying: three things that can help turn your digital footprint into your definitive personal brand.  Vizify allows you to customize your profile to showcase your experiences, social media activity, achievements, interests, pictures and even quirks.  It can provide graphical representations of how often you tweet along with the tweets themselves and what trends you use most frequently.  You can have a looping map showing the places you grew up, went to school and have worked.  The site also allows you to add pages such as your professional story, places you check in to, other platforms where you can be found on the web and more.

Vizify is likely to soon be on the first page of Google search results.  A profile on Vizify allows you to present both your personal and professional identity in the best way possible.  If the barrier between these two identities still exists even a little bit, it surely won’t for long.  Stay on top of your digital footprint and look into creating your own Vizify profile that so you are ready with your best foot forward. 

Your Creative Job Application

At exactly two months old, Vine is quickly gaining momentum and exposure in the social media arena.  The free mobile app allows users to create and post looped video clips up to 6 seconds long that can be shared on several social networking sites.  Users have been swift in finding unique uses for this new platform, including using it a “resume.”

While one can’t convey everything included on a written resume in a 6 second video, it does allow for the creator to grab the attention of a hiring manager and possibly intrigue him or her enough to extend an offer for an initial interview.  This idea gives a new meaning to the 30-second “elevator pitch.” 

Vine offers an opportunity for distinctive visual content and even storytelling in a matter of seconds.  Used as a “resume,” it’s a way to set a job-seeker apart from the sea of candidates vying for the same job.  Showing creativity and innovation through Vine could be what gets you in the door ahead of others.
