Sophia Bernazzani says, “Ah, the job search.

Some refer to it as a full-time job in itself, others compare it to dating, and several cats over at BuzzFeed think it just plain sucks. But it doesn’t have to be that way …

When you’re applying for a job, you’re typically asked to submit a resume and cover letter.Maybe your LinkedIn profile. But there are better ways to stand out against your competition, and building a personal website is one of them.

A personal website can serve different goals, but perhaps what it does best is provide you with an opportunity to tell your story. And with 53% of employers reporting that the resume alone did not provide enough information to determine if the candidate would be a good fit, that storytelling element can really help to improve your odds“.
