In general, I do not think it very advisable to have a widespread online presence, unless you are already a celebrity of sorts and are actually trying to market yourself. Otherwise, you leave yourself open to potential employers digging in to your personal life, and possibly even getting the wrong impression, or simply not like or share your insights or values, which may hurt your chances at getting hired.
For the few social media sites that I utilize online (mainly facebook, just barely instagram and twitter), I have made myself unsearchable unless we already know each other. Therefore, the information that I found is not really about me, but other people who share my name. When using Google, I discovered that "I" am a famous dancer. "I" have danced on the stage live, for film and TV, and "I" even teach dance. I also used Yahoo to search, where I found a company that bears my name, with Bespoke Homes added on. It would appear that they are based in the United Kingdom, and construct homes.
As I already mentioned, I myself am difficult to search for on social media, and so I looked for a different "me" to write about on facebook. It would appear that "my" cover photo is piano keys: something we would seem to have in common, as I play the piano, as well. Finally, I looked on instagram, where it would appear that I enjoy mountain climbing, skateboarding, and skiing, and was rather cute as a baby.
