As of midnight Friday night, you can get
your own Facebook url, like
www.facebook.com/lilli.cloud.
I recommend you
sign on and get your name today, especially if
your name is something like Susan Smith. Find
out how here.
And while we're at it, please tell me you DO
own your own domain name. Right? Like
www.lillicloud.com.
If not, buy it today.
Facebook is free. Your domain name will cost
you less than $10.
Why does this matter? Because people are
looking for you online, and you need to be
there if you ever plan to change jobs or
careers in your lifetime. More on having your
own Web site in future newsletters.
It's not just
your former love interests or kindergarten
pals.The first thing a recruiter does is Google
you. They'll look for you on Facebook to
check your judgment, so don't
post those drunken photos for the whole world
to see. Your clients may do the same before
they hire you. I know some of mine have.
Not a Facebook user yet? It's likely you will
be at some point. You can also create a
facebook page for your business. If you
haven't signed up yet, you'll have to wait
until June 28 to get your own url, as current
users get first dibs.
