People need websites as much as companies do

In today's world, it's a given:  If you have any kind of a business, you need a website.  But what if you are an individual just looking for a job?

Whatever social or business networking sites you are currently using, if you don't have a web page for your company or for yourself, you are missing out on great opportunities - especially if you are currently looking for employment.

Lets look at the obvious first.  If you are an employer, then presented with two candidates with roughly the same credentials, wouldn't you want to hire the person who took the initiative to create a personal web site?  Anyone can create a LinkedIn or FaceBook page, but it takes some chutzpa to go the extra mile. 

And it's cheap!  You can get hosted for as little as $5 to $10 bucks a month, and most hosting sites will give you enough free software that you can easily design your own site.  Don't want to do it yourself?  There are many folks out there like myself who help companies and individuals get a nice, effective web site up and running for you, and for not a lot of money.

With your own web site, you can control what visitors see (and optionally hear).  Those distracting advertisements, bulletins and lists would be gone, as any potential pop-ups.   You can also format the page in any style you wish.

Having total control over your information can be the difference between effective self-marketing and just more noise on the internet.
