Don't get lost in the shuffle
In a global network with thousands of surveyors from all over the world, its easy to feel lost, but even easier to stand out! This is a quick tip for making yourself standout from the crowd and tell other surveyors in the network a bit about your background and what you do. This should take less than five minutes.
Learn a bit of HTML While Introducing Yourself
The following template is a simple cut and replace, copy and paste HTML snippet for you to use for an easy introduce yourself post in the forums and it can double as the text you can insert into the Text Box on your profile page. Simply copy and paste the following code into a notepad txt document or download it and edit to your liking. When you're finished editing, simply paste it into a forum post to introduce yourself to the network or/and add it to your empty text box found within your profile. Replace the links in red with your own links. For best results, leave the HTML tags like <h3> in tact but feel free to delete or add to this in anyway that you wish.
<p><strong>Hi I'm <a

Surveyor</a>!</strong> I have been
a professional land surveyor for 120 years and work at a small company
in Florida called <a href="http://www.yourcompanyurl.com"><span
style="text-decoration: underline;">Big Daddy Surveyors</span></a>
I joined Land
Surveyors United in order to find other surveyors around the world and
build my personal network. I also hope to build my reputation
online by showing others who may be interested how to perform route
surveys.</p>
<p>I have some of my professional work to show you and a few
photos showing the types of environments that I work in in Florida</p>
