With affordable web hosting from FastWebHost, creating a personal website that increases your exposurehas never been easier.

Info Geek’s Thomas Frank explains why anyone interested in networking needs to have a personal website.

• Unlike a resume, a personal website is dynamic and changes instantly to reflect new accomplishments. Once a resume is logged with a potential employer, it’s static, whereas a website will constantly keep your audience abreast of career updates.

• A personal website increases your exposure and makes you findable in the best way possible. Rather than having potential employers seek information about you from Twitter of Facebook, you’ll have professional portal that lets you control the image you project online.

• Having a website is key for establishing a personal brand, especially for those who are self-employed or freelancers. Your content tells your audience exactly what you want them to know, without all the clutter.

• Building a website lets employers know that you’ve taken the time to learn specific skills to market yourself, skills that may be valuable to them in an employee. Enhancing your website simultaneously raises your profile and advertises your new skills.

• Since not many people have personal websites, it also sets you apart from the competition. A website shows potential employers that you’re serious about being found–and hired.

For examples of a personal website, you can check out Frank’s own site, as well as the more traditional resume website of his friend, Zach.
