Problematic Top Search Result
I hope this is acceptable to post, if not I apologize, but I am desperately seeking any sort of advice for myself pertaining to my online reputation. I am not a public figure or anyone like that, just a regular average guy that just recently graduated college looking for work in my field. (tech industry)
My concern is that the top result for a search of my name (first and last name) is a Twitter account I made 12 years ago (I was 15 at the time). The headline is not ideal for an employer to see, and the posts are even worse. Nothing too off-the-wall, just dumb and vulgar text statuses I posted as a teen. Also, profile pic is my teenage self of course, so its obviously me. Now, I can't access this account, and i dont even know what email it was made with. I don't think it has any followers at all. I contacted twitter and naturally they were zero help despite my sob story of being a single parent, freshly graduated, and the possible impact this is having on my life.
After perusing this sub for a while, I followed some suggestions made in other posts-- made social media accounts and posted to them over the last few weeks (i.e. a new twitter, a linkedin, facebook, instagram, even about . me). None of this shows on google. That problematic account is still the top result.
I've also flagged the result through Google for outdated content (denied) and tried to flag my profile photograph as I was a minor at the time, but that didn't seem to help either.
I am looking for any advice, suggestions, or possibly even looking into hiring an SEO/online management reputation person to help me resolve this matter. I just don't know how to rectify this and I'm very frustrated by it. Thank you for reading.
TLDR: problematic twitter account i dont have access to is the top search result for my name, not sure how to proceed in burying it
