My Digital Footprint
Why my digital footprint is important to me and my future.
What is a Digital Footprint and why is it important?
What my digital footprint consist of and how the content can affect me?
My digital footprint consist of my Linkedin account, My blog, and my Digital profile on weebly. My linkedin profile affects me because a future employer will see what I put on it. My profile basically says what I’m interested in, who I am, where I got my education and what education I have. My blog is important because it shows a future employer what my interest is. If I show an unhealthy interest it will negatively impact my digital profile. My blog can also show a sense of commitment. If I use my blog every day It shows I can commit to doing something. My Digital profile says alot about me. My profile will be one of the first things an employer will look at. A professional looking profile makes me look more professional. Also I made a list of my biggest accomplishments this will show an employer what I have done and what I could do for them. A lazy profile portrays a lazy person and no one wants to hire a lazy person. This is why my digital profile has effort put into it and why it impacts me.
What impact can my digital footprint have on my future?
My digital footprint can be a helpful tool when looking for a job because it shows what sets me apart from others. My Digital profile displays my accomplishments and my activities. My blog shows my passion for music and that I am not shy when it comes to sharing with others. Lastly my LinkedIn account displays what profession I am most interested in and what connections I have made. In the long run when employers or colleges see this they will say that is the person we want.
The bad
My digital footprint can be harmful as well. Unrevised ammatuer looking profiles and websites can make me look lazy. Any post containing immature content can make me look careless. My blog for example I have not posted in a while now and this might make me look uncommitted. This is not the worst mark I could have on my digital footprint by any means but not keeping up with my digital profiles can come back to bite me. These things will show a company or college that I may not be the type of person they are looking for.
