You may not have thought about it at the time, but that embarrassing post on your Facebook page just might cost you a new job opportunity. Many people do not realize that recruiters are looking at their online profiles to make a decision about candidates. And if you list your website or Facebook profile on your resume or LinkedIn profile, you are inviting them to check it out. But what if you have something on there that you’re not proud of? Even businesses have to be concerned with what is available on the internet about them.
Find Out the Truth
You know about what is on your Facebook page or Twitter posts, but what about the stuff you don’t know? Start by doing a Google search to see what comes up. Look at the first few pages to see if there is anything negative. Mark anything you find to be dealt with later. Sign up for alerts to let you know when new information is added about you.
Add More Good Stuff
Create new content about yourself that is more professional. This can include starting a new blog or website for professional purposes or other activities that will look good to a recruiter. For instance, if you are interested in graphic design, put up a website with some of your work.
