I happen to be reading an article about the presence that teens project online. If youhave a facebook, twitter, or tumblr account or some other social media, that means you should be thinking about how you project yourself online. Right now you are in high school, but soon you will be in college and eventually in the workforce. Below is information gathered from an article I recently read on online presence.Do you know many college admissions officers are looking at kids' online presence on social networking sites? They have found information on these sites that could negatively impact over 10% of college applicants. Students have even lost scholarships because of comments or photos they've posted online. Many job recruiters may make hiring decisions that are influenced by a job seekers' online presence.
Things to think about include how to keep things private whilc creating a positive online presence. Use strong passwords that include numbers, capital letters and symbols. Check your privacy settings on social media sites. Routinely delete posts or photos that would be hard to explain to a college admissions officer or future employer.
Don't discover too late and learn the hard way about creating a positive online web presence.
