The first way I could improve my digital profile is by adding things about me on my blog that represent me and the things I do in my time at riverside.

I could post things, with my name included so it’s easy to find, and I could post some things that I do in my free time. For example, donating clothes to a foundation, helping out others, things that I have obtained using my set of skills, and more. A third way is by getting a good word out for my name.

In the explanation of this class, I have learned that digital footprints matter when going in for new opportunities. They are a way for people to see into your accomplishments, your skills and hobbies, your past, and more. A bad digital footprint can ruin future opportunities and give people a bad impression. Especially if your social media contains inappropriate pictures. A good digital footprint is something we should all work on as this is the future and we should all try and obtain the best version of ourselves as possible.
