The use of online networking for career advancement is exploding.

Numerous sites, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are attracting legions of users hoping to land connections, and even a job.

Eva Keiser, public relations professional with Risdall McKinney Public Relations, and an adjunct Professor of Journalism at the University of Minnesota, is an expert in online networking.

She recommends that anyone looking to boost their online profile first "Google" themselves to see what has already been posted about them.

"Are you coming up with articles you're mentioned in, or commentary that you've done for your previous jobs?"  If not, says Keiser, it's time to start building your online profile.
