This impacts my digital footprint because I post in this blogger for school related stuff that can give me a positive image about my self when applying for a job.
I use twitter to spread happiness and kindness everywhere. I put up a cover photo about RAK (random acts of kindness) that I created so people will see it when looking at my profile. My intention for creating this account was to support the World Kindness day on November 13. This impacts my digital footprint because when applying for a job people will know that I am a kind person to others just by looking at my cover photo and profile picture and post I re-tweeted using the hashtag #RAK.
I created this account in school to have a better understanding about businesses and careers. In my profile I haven't put any profile pic but i did talk about my self in the description on our profile. I talked about what i wanted to be when get older and how I'm taking certain classes to achieve my goals. This will my digital footprint because people will see that I have goals and I'm trying hard to achieve them. People with same interest or are already working in this career will look at my profile and might recommend you jobs for this.
