I think blogging is really important! Not sure why it's not included in this list.

We think all these are common sense activities and have a similar approach when it comes to helping individuals build and get their ‘Online Personal Brand’ working for them. We liked the simplest Do’s & Dont’s you have listed down. Sure it will help those seeking jobs (in this unemployed climate) giving them a headstart with really what they can begin to work on.

Recruiters should be thankful they have resources such as LinkedIn and Google+, which make connecting with candidates and evaluating talent easier, Kelly Dingee writes. Other valuable resources include Outlook's signature templates and Summify, which can help you find out what topics are popular in the news and on Twitter, Dingee writes.

I can tell you this is a totally new world for me (tail end baby boomer) Not only the mechanics of online presence but why it's important. I feel like I'm "getting it" 30 years late.

Yes, I was tempted to put it in, and would advise that everyone blogs. Alas I wanted these 5 tips to get people off to the best start. Personal branding could be a huge area if you really delved into it, and if you are to take it seriously then blogging would certainly be a part of your arsenal.

I don't know if, all things being equal, a good social media profile will get you a job, but a bad profile can certainly lose you a job. The stupidity some people show never ceases to amaze though.
