How might your digital footprint affect your future opportunities?
Digital footprint can impact your relationships and employment opportunities. Like how social media can affect your job and relationship, it can affect your employment opportunities and relationship. It allow you to share your ability and hiring managers can apply you a job if they thin your adequate for the job. Candidly, most employer are now turning to social media to get a job.
Strategies that you can use to keep your digital footprint safe.
Create strong and memorable password, keep your computer and software up-to-date, and constantly check your privacy setting and set it private.
- First, strong and memorable password is important because other user or hacker can access to your account easily if you have password such as your birthday or your name.
- Second, updating software can allow your computer to work and run faster. If you didn’t update your computer for a long time, your computer might have to get restarted, or it may can’t run properly.
- Finally, keep checking your privacy setting and setting it private is a good standard practice because your information and password will not be shared. Also, never put your location on your post because it makes a lot easier to track you.
What information did you learn that you would pass on to other students? How would you go about telling them?
I will share my ideas and information about how important the digital footprint is related to you future job, and how to keep your account appropriate and safe. These days, people use social medias and other digitals to get a job, or improve your job. I think digital footprint is vital, but also dangerous at the same time because people can hack and steal your private information. That is the most important reason why you should have strong password to keep your account safe. I will also tell other students to not equalize your password to your different accounts because it allows unknown people to hack and get into your different accounts much easier. Also, it makes you hard to log everything if you forget one single password. I have noticed my Google account, Pinterest account, and Facebook account had all same passwords. As a result, I was not able to log in neither of these because I have forgotten my password.
