Do you know what I give thanks for?
It's that when I was in my teens and early twenties, I
wasn't on Facebook.
True, I did have my own website (talking about computer
games and rave music - if anyone wants to experience my ancient and extremely
poor game, "Ravers vs Peaceniks", I need something that can compile
Visual Basic 3 code into something understandable by todays computers, do let
me know if you have a solution) but that website has sunk virtually without
trace, and I can proceed through life, unhindered.
Today however people (including, but not exclusively, the young)
have to be prepared that whatever they put online may be accessible for years
afterwards.
Put a cheeky selfie up about a few too many drinks? Or a long rant about an annoying customer at
your current job? It might just be a bit
of fun, but how would you feel if a potential recruiter viewed it?
ReputationManagement.com have put together this infographic
full of tips on Googling yourself and seeing what's out there.
If you try this, do pop in the comments know what you found
- was you surprised at what you found?
