[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 77150, member: 2672"] Ultimately it depends what you posted. Anything highly questionable such as racism could come back to haunt you. Not necessarily in a recruitment process but just more generally. Easiest thing to do is to change your name on your profile. Common things to do are use middle names, abbreviations or initials, or use any of the following letters in your name instead âëįòùŵŷšłžçñ. Change your profile picture to something that isn’t you too. Also attach your profile to a different email address/telephone number rather than what you use to apply to jobs. Doing any of the above will generally make you very difficult/impossible to find anyway unless your name is so distinct name. Easiest way is to google search yourself and see what comes up. Even then though, people have got to take responsibility for their actions no matter when they happened. If you are ultimately ashamed and don't want to be associated with social media content in any manner, then remove it. You put it in the public domain at some point, so you need to take ownership of it. Unlike if you had gone out in public and someone filmed you saying something, at least you have got the chance to delete it. I wouldn’t worry about things that are you just having a life (eg pictures of you drunk, messing about, bikini pictures etc), it’s more the things where you have been abusive to others or tried to harm others through social media content that I would always be concerned about, or obviously any illegal activity.
