How I manage my digital identity- Week Four Discussion Post

Personally, I am not very active on social media. I am mainly a consumer of content, not a creator. But, with technology advancing everyday and many things becoming digital, I recognize that becoming apart of the social media world is important in order to make essential business connections along with job recruiting possibilities. Having a professional digital identity allows us to be represented professionally. Managing your digital identity can be easy, but it can also be hard. You can try your hardest to have a professional identity online, however anyone can post something of you without your consent and you have to deal with the repercussions that come with it. We don’t have full control over how much of us is online. But we do have control of what we ourselves put online and how we react when things are out of our control. Since we do have at least some control, it’s important to only post things that you are okay with future employers seeing. For me, I only post something if I would be comfortable showing it to my grandma. I feel like it’s a pretty good scale to go off of and helps me dictate what part of myself I put online, and what I keep offline.
