Graduation season is here! Your cap and gown are ready, you’re excited to be out of classes and dreaming of all the exciting things you are ready to do, but is your online profile ready?
Performing a quick search of yourself online is important to see not just the things that you post but also what is being posted about you by others. If you can find these things by searching online, it is likely that any prospective employers or internships will see these things as well. You can un-tag yourself or hide any questionable photos even if they are from College or High School.
Set up some privacy restrictions! If you have started working already it is likely that your social media network expanded to include managers and work colleges. Depending on your privacy settings they may have access to your photos, comments, check-ins and status updates. Take the time to set up appropriate settings for various levels or members of your network and think about keeping some separation between your personal and professional worlds.
