Are You Helping Or Hurting Yourself With Social Media?

Take a look at your Facebook, Instagram and other social media pages. Would you be comfortable with your boss or a potential employer observing the profiles? If not, please clean it up! You can be sure that employers will check online profiles and use what they find in hiring decisions. Even if your page is blocked or set to private, do you know everyone on your friend list and their connections? Are you willing to take the risk? Have you performed a thorough Google search on yourself to see what appears during a keyword search of your name? Make sure nothing online is damaging your brand.

Protect your online image. Be careful with the information you post about yourself on the internet. If anything is attached to your name (your brand), keep it professional. Yes, we recommend the use of social media but do not forget that people are always looking. The wrong pictures and information posted about you could lead to a damaged brand and difficulty with job prospects.

Just as a brand for a product can be ruin so can yours. Your brand is something to protect and cherish. You are the one that can build and maintain it. Your brand is the only one you have so don’t let others destroy it. Do not be careless with it. Just like a brand for a product once it is damaged, it is almost impossible to restore it back to its original state.
