Great thoughts. I have one suggestion on your hyperlink thoughts. There is a great new site called http://www.personavita.com that allows you to list all your past work experiences. Then those experiences can be validated by your co-workers. So it’s more than recommendations from friends. Something like this ought to be on everyones resume. I have like my experience with personavita and would recommend it to anyone.

Hey Shannon-

Thank you for this great post. It’s all very very sound advice.

“Make sure that the information on the selected profiles is something you wouldn’t mind sharing with a potential employer.”

Another key point is to make sure that your online profile is ALL built of things you wouldn’t mind having an employer see. The recruiters in my office (as well as the folks on the executive team) almost always look on MySpace, Facebook, Naymz, Google and Twitter for additional clues to the real personality and character of a person.

An initial interview is something a little like a first date. Both the employer and the candidate has their “date faces” on. Knowing what “social profile” the other party has is research that BOTH parties should participate in. I would encourage candidates to research companies as carefully as companies research candidates.

If you’re going to call out your social media profiles, try to make sure that you’re making your references relevant. Tie the reason you’ve linked to these resources to an example of how companies like your prospective employer have benefited from social media.

One last thought – I’ve for quite some time included the text of some of my LinkedIn endorsements in the references section of my resume. I’ve been complimented on their inclusion, and have tried to embed some of my online persona into my paper resume presentation.
