*don’t ruin your professional image by posting something online
that can be misinterpreted. In the digital age of growing social
media platforms, you need to consider how your comments,
post, and information could be perceived.
A professional contact doesn’t need to see a photo of what you
had for lunch or know what political candidate you despise.
*set your social network privacy settings to private. However
assume everything you put online could be viewed(or hacked)
your grandmother, least favorite person and future employer.
We don’t know too many computer hacking grannies, but you
get the point. Remove anything you wouldn’t want that
audience to see.
*Don’t try to make professional connections on the wrong
social network. In the work place, LINKEDIN is solid
professional social platform to connect with clients, colleagues,
supervisor and contacts. Trust us, your boss doesn’t want to
be tweeted or receive snaps. When in doubt, don’t tweet it
out!
*Google your self.
