Create profiles on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google and other social networks. List all your profiles (through links), so that the search for your name could be easy.

2 - Tell what you are looking for in an employment Use keywords such as employment opportunity, selection, job, etc.. and others related to the work area you want to increase the chances of a recruiter being directed to your profiles.

3 – To sale a "good product" Learn what your strengths are and what kind of company you would like to work, and then create a solid profile for companies to see that you are the right candidate.

4 - Organize and promote your online presence Manage your presence on the Internet. Use privacy settings that do not allow other users to reference you in their posts.

5 - Produce content Keeping an updated blog can help you share information on topics that are of personal interest, and you should also create a filter or a springboard to attract opportunities.

6 - Actively participate, but with criteria in your search

It is not possible to “shoot” in all directions. Choose “places” that really interest and dedicate yourself.

7 - Be careful with each click If you are present in communities, common sense never hurts.

"you are what you eat "is true, but it could be said "you are what you put.“ Choose places that really interest and dedicate yourself.

8 - Value your CV There is not a good presence on the Internet without good traditional training. Recruiters are unanimous in stating that a foreign language, cultural and academic quality are key.
