“If you want to present your best self to college admissions officers or employers, it really makes sense to use [online tools] before you apply.”
Our web-based software helps the grad in your life clean up their social media profiles and build an online presence that gets them hired.
Our leading-edge machine learning technology automatically identifies the definitive list of red flags employers use to screen candidates. This includes any posts that employers might consider unprofessional, inappropriate, polarizing, or objectionable. They then have the choice to delete or ignore their flagged posts.
2. Our software identifies unprofessional Facebook & Twitter posts that employers look for as red flags - and helps clean them up.
3. Our software identifies unprofessional social media photos that could lose job opportunities - and helps clean them up.
Our cutting edge CleanImage technology automatically finds any images that could be considered unprofessional, including photos involving drinking, drugs, partying, and lewd behavior. Your child then has the choice to delete or ignore their flagged images, learning what hiring managers consider unprofessional behavior along the way.
Our CleanSearch technology will automatically find any webpages in Google that could be considered unprofessional, including old court records, disparaging blog posts, bad press, gossip and more. They can then follow our steps to minimize their visibility in search engines or remove them.
4. Our technology identifies any search results that could hurt their chances of getting hired - and helps suppress them.
Our ReputationEngine technology shows your child how much their online reputation is impacting their career, and provides a customized action plan they can follow to improve it. Students who improve their score are statistically more likely to win career opportunities.
5. Your child protects, monitors and improves their reputation over time, maximizing their opportunities.
Your grad will use the software, not you. You won't be able to log into their account. Once you purchase their membership, you don't need to do anything except remind them to use it.
By buying a BrandYourself membership, you give your grad access to our online tools for private use—you won't see any of their social media posts.
Even if your child isn't active, their friends are. That means they could be tagged by a friend in a post or image that they didn't approve.
It's certainly possible. But times have changed – it's not just about skills anymore, and in a job market as competitive as today's, don't you want to make sure they have every edge they can get?
Nope. That doesn't work. Employers now use sophisticated tools that can get around name variations.
We care, too. That's why we only access information that is already available on the web. We never store private information, and we never sell customer information to third parties.
You're giving your grad access to BrandYourself.com's Premium web-based software, which walks them through the process of cleaning up their online presence. Once you pay, they'll be emailed a link to log in and use the online software (you won't be able to log into their account).
And we respect that. But here are two important things to keep in mind:
-Inappropriate content might be by the hand of a past friend or classmate. Maybe your child was tagged in a photo they don't remember, or a derogatory post that they overlooked?
-College students make mistakes. We make sure those mistakes don't cost them a job.

We'll email them a link to log into their account, then our software will then walk them step-by-step through cleaning up their own online presence. You don't need to be involved in any way after this point, except to remind them to use BrandYourself.
