EVERYONE DESERVES THE RIGHT TO PROMOTE THEIR CAREER, THEIR BUSINESS, OR THEIR PASSION.

The job market is inefficient.
Extremely inefficient!
![Page 5: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But do you know who takes the hit?
![Page 6: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
YOU!
![Page 7: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sometimes you don’t look the part.
![Page 8: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sometimes you don’t have the connections.
![Page 9: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Sometimes you don’t have the degree/expertise.
![Page 10: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But fortunate for you, the internet has revolutionized
everything, including the workforce.
![Page 11: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
For the first time in history, anyone that is “connected” has the ability to publicize their talent to anyone around the world.
![Page 12: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Which means if you don’t look the part, have the connections, or possess the degree/expertise, you can
leverage this powerful tool to your advantage.
![Page 13: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
![Page 14: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Clean up your online image.
![Page 16: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If you’re already at a disadvantage because you don’t look the part, have the connections, or possess the degree/expertise, then the very
last thing you want in your digital footprint is...
![Page 17: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This
![Page 18: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Or this
![Page 19: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Or this
![Page 20: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Or this
![Page 21: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Or this
![Page 22: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
And...
![Page 23: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Because 80% of employers will
google you.
![Page 24: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
And let’s be honest, why
shouldn’t they?
![Page 25: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The global economy is increasingly competitive. Which means there is barely any room for error.
![Page 26: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Which also means that all it takes is a few bad employees to cause chaos.
![Page 27: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
But aside from that, there is a second reason why you should present a professional online portfolio. And that
is...
![Page 28: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
HR professional are people just like me and you.
![Page 29: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Meaning that they’re extremely visual. They want to see a holistic
and tangible image of you.
![Page 30: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
And there is no resume in the entire world that’s impressive
enough to do that.
![Page 31: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
And even if there was, who’s to say
you didn’t make it up?
![Page 32: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Remember Scott Thompson? He was the CEO of Yahoo! from 2012 to 2012, for only five months.
![Page 33: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Why?
Because he falsified his resume
![Page 34: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
This man was the boss of one of the largest and well known companies in the world. If he falls for
something like that, do you know what that means?
![Page 35: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
We all do!
![Page 36: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
But your personal brand, your digital footprint; that’s something you can’t make up.
![Page 37: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
You can’t change what you look like, how you talk, who you know, and which school you went to, but you can change your personal brand; you can change your digital footprint.
![Page 38: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
And whether by design or by default,
you already have a brand. It’s just a
matter of which image you want it
to have.
![Page 39: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“What else can I do?”
![Page 40: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Join communities (online and off) and forums for professionals, leaders, and changemakers. This is where you’ll meet, connect, and learn from very accomplished
people and potential mentors/role models.
![Page 41: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“Why is it so critical that I ‘connect’ with
other professionals, leaders, and
mentors?”
![Page 42: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
In addition to the many benefits of having a strong professional network, it’s also because 60% to 80%
of jobs are never advertised.
![Page 43: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Do you know who fill those jobs?
![Page 44: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
People just like you. Except, they know the right people.
![Page 45: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
But if you really want to be aggressive, you can start a blog.
![Page 46: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
“Bloggin? What does that have to
do with personal branding?”
![Page 47: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Blogging is the single best and most effective way for anyone to systematically expose themselves to a large
number of people.
![Page 48: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
It’s the best way to connect with professionals, like-minded people, clients (if you have a
business), leaders, and of course recruiters and HR professionals.
![Page 49: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

![Page 51: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Everyone has knowledge and/or opinions on any number of things: sports, politics, pop culture, entertainments, etc. The best part is, you don’t have to worry about being too
formal in your writing. You can be as simplistic as possible, and it would still be fine, as more people will relate to that.
Blog about anything or everything
![Page 52: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Look, the bottom line is...
![Page 53: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
There are two types of people in our age: masters and morons. Masters are people who are actively seeking self improvement and leadership. Morons are people constantly sexting, consuming clickbait
(aka BuzzFeed), and have little regards for the things that truly matter.
![Page 54: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
We all fall into one of those two
categories.
![Page 55: The millennial guide to finding a job](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042819/55c5ddabbb61ebda3b8b4727/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
So choose wisely!
