Control Your Digital Footprint
What do you want the world to know about you?
How much information have you provided on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ and other Internet sites? Too much? If so, tighten up your privacy on these sites.
How much information has been written about you on employer websites, professional publications and other online sites?
How much public data exists about you in public records, in places such as real estate and legal transactions? These can be removed (or hidden) during an internet search.
Find out what others may learn about you from the Internet. Go to a search engine like Google or Bing, and enter your name – all variations of it (including your maiden name). Review the first few pages of the search results, including links to sites that may have put together a profile about you.
If you want searchers to have certain information about you, add information you are comfortable with sharing by creating your own website or blog.
