I talk to people every day about the importance of managing their online image / reputation / brand. Whether you are looking for a job or would like to keep the one you have this is critically important for your career.

This morning I came across this fantastic blog post on JobMob called 200+ Resources and Tips To Help Manage Your Reputation Online: Everything you need to manage your reputation online and get to any nasty Web surprises before they get to you.
In this post Jacob Share asks What should you be tracking?
Most people will only want to track their full name (in the format “firstname lastname”), but there are other things you might want to watch as well:
- Web pages where you posted your resume, portfolio or other online work
- Any products that you take credit for in a resume or portfolio
- Companies that you’re researching in a job hunt
- People you might soon work with or for
- Major players in your industry
- The job market in your industry

Stephanie, thanks for the compliments and I’m glad you liked the article. It took a long time to compile. On a personal level, the most interesting thing that came out it was my becoming an active Twitterer (my account was almost a year old but I wasn’t using it until then).
Seeing all the different ways information could be tracked on Twitter really motivated me to get involved in that conversation.
