Terry Rasberry: Weather Guy…

Is your social network preventing you from getting a job? Google yourself right now and see what comes up. Yesterday we talked about the lack of online privacy we have. Everything that is posted about you is saved in internet history forever-or so it seems. It might be hard to find a job when that photo of you doing a keg stand just won’t go away. I don’t want to find myself saying, “Look there’s an explanation for why I’m in a cop costume that has a leotard and handcuffs”. The job search has become increasingly harder and we are all under more scrutiny with everything that can be learned about us online. A whopping 70 percent of recruiters and HR professionals have rejected applicants based on information that surfaced online.

In fact, Syracuse first reached out to Brand-Yourself after observing that students were losing jobs and internships by mismanaging their online presence. To the rescue is Brand-yourself.com This site is like a credit check for online profiles. It scans Google, Facebook and Twitter and gives you a report. Not only does it show you what to remove, but it has tools to help you organize and better promote yourself. You can also pay for services called ReputationDefender and Reputation Hawk. Another option is to blog to cover up. If u can’t delete it, hide it. It also can make you a more attractive candidate to employers when they see you writing about your life.

Beware the cybertwin! When I search my name a lovely cybertwin pops up who is a twice-over juvenile delinquent.
