The short answer is; you can’t.
I wrote in a previous post about the need to manage your Personal
Branding and I was asked about things like Facebook or Pinterest or for that
matter, anywhere on “the web” and should I take questionable shots down?
Another simple answer is yes, take it down now. As a Recruiter, I have taken candidates to a
new opportunity where they were highly qualified and where the company wanted
to hire them only to find a “questionable” photo out on the web and the company
walked away.
In my Introduction to LinkedIn classes, I am often asked
about posting things that are political or religious. Now, I don’t want to take this blog to an
ethics or morality level or even a political correctness (we have way too much
of that already).
This cautionary blog is to tell you to take down questionable
posts and photos now, but know that once it is on the web, someone or some
system has already captured it, but it is-what it is. Take it down today and “sin no more”. Beauty is not only in the eyes of the
beholder, but so are those expensive first impressions.
Reach out to us and we can help you with these things and
get you ready to make a good first impression with your Personal Branding components.
Best
