A real testimony“After several months searching job actively and collaborating in a communication agency and Marketing online company, I realize that it is very important having a clear profile in different social media. The shop window of ourselves is even greater through social medial and web sites. (…) Nowadays, the first effect that people perceive about us is what they see online. That is why we should find the way to stand out and to show what is our value on Internet. If you cause a good effect online, you will get an opportunity in offline word; if don’t, you wont. That is why I don’t think that be present in social media is enough; you need to be different”

A real testimony

“Internet is the place where companies try to find potential candidates nowadays; today it is not enough to send a CV. I found a clear necessity to differentiate myself from the competition, and the perfect way to show to my audience my knowledge and my initiative was presenting myself as a product”
