			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a new librarian, and one who finds herself on the job market in a few months, I&#8217;ve spent lots of time thinking about how to market myself to potential employers. As I mentioned, I spoke with students last week at U of T&#8217;s iSchool about breaking into the profession and one piece of advice I gave was, get yourself a web presence. Get a blog, get on LinkedIn, get on Twitter &#8212; create a professional persona for yourself online. So, I was pleasantly surprised to come across this little tool, <a href="http://www.visualcv.com/">Visual CV</a>. It&#8217;s fun! It&#8217;s easy to make! And it can act as an extension of the resume you&#8217;ve just submitted in a job application. Sometimes it&#8217;s heart breaking to have to cut some things off your resume, or there&#8217;s the obvious constraint of paper over a dynamic web page. So, if you&#8217;re like me, and you put your blog link on your resume, than you can add a link from said blog to your Visual CV, and give potential employers the full picture. I&#8217;ve added mine at the sidebar (&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&gt;) front and centre, or you can check it out <a href="http://www.visualcv.com/gjaduc9">here</a>.</p>
<p>Sometimes networking events are hard (nothing like trudging through snow in a business suit!), but this is an easy way to get all your professional experiences out there, ready to be viewed by potential employers. So, fair students: You are on reading week right now! Take a few hours to get yourself webberized, and make yourself that much more appealing to employers who are looking for curious, tech-able new librarians to fill their ranks.</p>
