Protecting your Digital Reputation
How to maintain your online rep
The Modern Day Girl
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are three integral parts of a modern day girls social life. They are the coffee meet-ups and movie dates of the 21st century, and as long as you know how to be safe and smart online you shouldn't meet up with any problems. But, if you don't consider carefully what you do post online, chances are that it will be there forever. The internet remembers everything, and mistakes on social media platforms could influence you for the rest of your life. When you're looking to get into a University, or apply for a job, the chances of them looking you up and trolling through your Facebook page are seriously high, and post's displaying you as a 'party girl' or being attached to any negative stories can determine their decision very easily.
