Do you exist online ????
Being so much addicted to internet do we have privacy anymore? Even if I don't use facebook or twitter myself that much, it is likely friends or family do. Many of us are concerned about our online identity, though we don't have any control on others posting pictures and information about us. The more stuff we post on public or semi public craves, the more recognizable we are. What we do can appear online or one can find out name, age, profession or much more.
At some places we post via posting blog or forums intentionally. While on other places we leave unknowingly which is more risky.
Around less than 50% of internet users are not aware about accessibility of their personal information. Half of the users are self searchers who search about others. The younger ones are more prone to such searches. Information's like name, address, phone number, employer, photos, even political affiliation can be easily accessed online.
Most internet users are not concerned about the amount of information available about them online, and most do not take steps to limit that information. These intentional or unintentional digital footprints talk a lot about you as an individual.
Employers use these information to know about the potential candidates. As you search the online world for employment, keep in mind that hiring managers also may be using the Web to gather information about you. In fact, a growing number of employers are searching the Internet for details about potential hires.
It is crucial for you to maintain and control the flow of information about you online to keep your professional reputation. To monitor your online presence you need to keep an eye on the flow of information. For this, firstly you need to conduct your own search on popular search engines. Screen your information and remove the unwanted one or rectify. You can take help of firms like reputation defender who are professional to cleanup the trashes of personal information.
At last, we cannot avoid our presence on social media which is also crucial in these times but we have to safeguard our social identity and make sure that it is not misused in any way.
