What are people saying about you online?

An estimated 80% of employers research candidates online before an interview.

LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace are all great social networking tools, but do they contain photos or comments you wouldn’t want a potential employer to see?

Here are our top tips for managing your online reputation:

Google yourself – See what comes up. You might be surprised to see what’s in your online profile.

Clean up your act – Delete or make private any content you wouldn’t want your current or a potential employer to see.

Rename yourself – Ensure your online profile, email and IM addresses are professional.

Stay alert – Set up a Google alert in your name so you can monitor what’s published about you online.

Choose friends carefully – Make sure the people in your network reflect well on you.
