You should have one, and be sure to make it look professional. If you’re not artistic or technical by nature surf over to www.templatemonster.com and buy one from them. Template Monster’s templates are second to none as far as I’m concerned. They look professional and you can buy one for $20-$60. You add your own words and customize it to fit your needs or you can hire them to do the job for you. You can also buy what they call an “identity plan” which even includes your corporate logo if you choose to set up your own consulting practice while you‘re looking.
Buy a template which matches the industry you want to go into.
If you can’t afford to hire a professional to customize
it for you, consider a barter
arrangement.
If you want to save money, lay out your sections and write your text before you hire someone to complete it.
Have a newsletter box.
Your content needs to focus on your industry knowledge and your ability to do a particular job or the series of jobs you want to be hired to do.
Put up any article you have authored.
Put up summaries of your white papers and encourage employers to contact you directly or at least register to receive the entire document. This will build you a stable of leads as well as tell you who is reading your site.
Link to other sites which have content that would be of interest to your readers.
