Cover LetterDear Future Boss,The first thing youʼll want to do when you sign up for a

Re.vu account is import your LinkedIn information, after

which you can start to manually add the additional

details you want to share with prospective employers.

You can add a biography, upload your traditional CV

and add a profile photo. You can also add links to your

personal blogs, sites and online accounts including

Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Flickr and more.

Sincerely,

Joe Applicant

Set up your account.You will need an email address. Use your actual name if possible. Consider buying your official domain name - you can ʻnameplateʼ any of these profile sites, instead of re.vu/yourname.

Choose a really good photo of yourself or something relevant.The image needs to be huge but web-friendly. Think 1900px in width at least. Depending on which profile service you use, consider the composition of the photo (you on left? right? Is your face or the main subject of the image covered up by the data panel?) and crop to suit the space. Find big-cool-free-legal images on compfight.com. Follow their rules and youʼre golden.

Fill in the blanks.Just like a paper resume, add all the information you can. Keep it updated as you add jobs and internships, accolades, education, social places, and anything else interesting about your journey through life.

Tell people about your online résumé.Include your URL on everything: paper résumé, job and internship applications, and college applications. Post it on Facebook and any other social account you have (and will have) online.
