Social Media Clean Up

 

What is your Online Identity or Personal Brand?

 

Believe it or not performing a social media cleanup has become an important part of the job search process. What you post online becomes part of your personal brand. Potential employers can and do check job candidates’ personal social media accounts to gain more insight into your personality, opinions, and lifestyle, so your personal brand will be their first impression of you.

 

• Google yourself to see what a potential employer might find including the image search

• Delete posts that do not show you in a positive light and revise your personal blog

• Delete abandoned social media sites

• Keep Linkedin strictly professional

• Think before you post - Make sure you would be happy if an employer/client saw your post
