Having an online profile name is an image that you portray, therefore, look at your profile as a brand name that you need to manage, promote, and establish a good image for social reputation and credibility.
1. It is important that you check your profile name (or googling yourself) from time to time in search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, and many others. In this way, you will be able to monitor how your profile rates publicly.
The normal way of googling your profile name is by simply typing it. If it fails to search your name further, you may refine the search by typing your name in quotations or include other details such as your address.
2. The internet is a storage or archive of information that contains the history of online actions or digital footprints which can be easily searched by others. Joining various websites and later become inactive without complete deletion of profile, comments on forums or blogs, uploading photos in social networking sites, playing online games and alike.
It is advisable to remove unnecessary online content and always check privacy settings of accounts especially with social networking websites such as Facebook. To keep privacy, one option is to create a separate online profile name in business or various freelancing activities from your personal image.
3. A prospective employer can check your name in the internet to investigate about your background, it is therefore important that good reference of data will appear on the search. If there is a profile name same as yours with a negative record, atleast you are already aware of it and know how to answer during the interview.
