How can my digital footprints impact my future? (Scenario)
If I wanted a job, my employer would take a look at all of these footprints to see things about me. If they didn't like something they saw I would have a low chance of getting the job. In vice Versa if they see something they do like I get a higher chance of getting it.
My information could easy be seen with a Google search of my name.
Some of my digital footprints are social media
I use Instagram to share photos with family and friends.
The reason why I use Twitter is to connect with others in my school.
YouTube
YouTube is what I use for entertainment purposes like funny clips or music videos.
My educational footprints could consist of ...
Blogger
Blogger is a new part of my footprint, I used it for a project we had to update regularly.
LinkedIn is also a new footprint I now consist of and is used for job searching.
Goodreads
Goodreads was a footprint that I had to update during summer school. Even if I don't use it anymore its still left a trace.
Easy steps I could do to improve my digital footprint
- Be positive
- Being supportive
