Sooooo, what I do online can have an effect on my career and professional relationships...? Then what kind of online identity have I made for myself thus far? I'm almost too scared to look, but I now know that I must.
Luckily, all I found on my self was my relatively new Facebook page. After having done research on the importance of maintaining a professional online identity and found out that not only does having a negative online identity hurt your personal and professional endeavors, but having a lack of an online presence can equally hurt your professional development. This, in my case, was true since up until recently had not even cared to join the online networking culture that is today in our world. So what to do now? Online blogs and posts pertaining to my personal career choice to show potential employers my involvement in my field of study. Deletion of any online material with a negative connotation about myself in it. And that's just some of the basic things that can help keep an online identity secure and keep you in control of what other people can see about you online.
For me, the thing is that we are all going to have an online identity sooner or later, so we may as well make it the one we want, that works to our advantage. Si?
