A recruiter is bound to Google you. So it’s best to pamper your Facebook image —you might even erase a few photos if need be…
From a professional point of view, LinkedIn is a must, especially when it comes to the international market. But you must also be properly represented: use the photo and title of your resume, saying who you are, what job you are looking for, your experiences, languages spoken and a few other passions.
Viadeo is useful for a more French oriented research.
And don’t hesitate to use the 2.0 network! Contacts is what makes these networks interesting. Seek out persons with a personalized note. Start with your old school buddies, target the persons that interest you in companies. Do not hesitate to like and participates in discussions. Careful, using these networks must stay professional. This is not the place to make a baby announcement.
