professional overhauls

Some MySpace profiles, especially those established early on, are vast and complex. Due to the nature of MySpace, it can seem an overwhelming task to prune and edit one's own profile with clear objectivity. What may be appropriate content for a university student, may pose a challenge upon graduation and transition to a corporate environment. We can help.

Some of the MySpace features we've revised, deleted, or improved include:

eliminating goofy emoticons and, ahem... mood indicators
extracurricular blurbs that solicit "meeting" other members
"about me" statements that detract from career aspirations
unbecoming comments made by old myspace friends
ensure appropriateness of videos & music linked with profile
convert layouts and backgrounds to tasteful style
cancel or disassociate from potentially embarrassing groups
privatize karaoke type videos, unless you're a performer
query myspace forums for potential future "surprises"
