Are you afraid of what future employers may find on your Instagram? Do you have party pictures on your Facebook? If so, you should consider a web presence makeover to clean up your image. Your online presence is extremely important, since it gives the whole world an idea of who you are and what you do. For that reason, your profiles need to be shareable with an employer, your family, and with the rest of the world. Besides, other people may stumble upon you anyway!
Create a website.
Create a website where you can post your resume, blogs, social media pages, and anything else you see fit. Consider it a place to sell and showcase yourself. I love using wix.com to create my websites because the layouts are beautiful, and it requires little to no coding skills. If you name the website after yourself, it will come up in Google when people search for you!
Clean up your photos.
Go through your Instagram and Facebook pages, and get rid of the following: pictures that showcase underage drinking, red cup pictures, photos that show illegal activities, anything you wouldn't want your grandparents to see, and anything you wouldn't want an employer to see.
Maintain your reputation.
Change your Facebook settings so that you will have to approve any posts to your timeline. This will ensure that nothing gets put on your wall without your permission, and nothing will become associated with you without your consent. Do the same for photo and post tags. This will make your life a whole lot easier if you worry about your web presence!
