Hire Josh Ochs to speak at your organization.
1. Your social profile does not go away
Always think twice about posting pictures of yourself in a manner that an employer may not find desirable. College stunts, etc may seem funny at the time, but down the road when you are ready to settle into a career, a potential employer may not find them funny or desirable.
2. Your social profile gives people a first impression of you
Although many companies do not search out your profile, potential new colleagues may. If you may be posting something that could be embarrassing or of bad taste, think twice. Don’t let a moment in the spotlight create an employment struggle that you later have to overcome.
3. Understand security settings, and use them wisely
If you are going to have an online profile, consider maintaining a professional profile on sites like LinkedIn, and a personal profile only open to your friends and family.

Give us your tips on how students can clean up their online presence to prepare for a dream career after graduation.
