Have you got a Facebook account? Be prepared.
Have you ever “Googled” yourself? If you have joined social media networking sites such as LinkdIn or Twitter – - chances are, you will find yourself. That is because those social media sites are “indexed”. That means that every little thing you post on facebook, the dim sum you had for lunch, the drunken picture where you were tagged may become visible to the world.
As more and more company’s HR department are googling potential employees or current employees, you may be exposing more than what you want them to know.
What can you do?
- Go to your Facebook profile’s “Settings” page
- Privacy settings > Search
- Toggle the option that allows indexing under Public Search results no
Do this now before you land on the search engines of Bing and Google.
Once your information is “cached”, it’s next to impossible to remove them.
Again – To adjust your search privacy settings click on Settings>Privacy Settings>Privacy>Search>Public Search – - Uncheck Allow Indexing.
That makes me wonder why most people are actually using their real names?!? You need not to worry if you use your nickname or an alias instead of your full name.
