The Creation of a Digital Footprint

            Anytime you get online you start creating a Digital Footprint, a digital foot print is the data that is left behind by users on digital services. Simply put when you get online and make a post form an account with your credentials, or personal information that post will be link to you and your account until the end of time. Now I’m not saying that posting things is bad, but posting negative things can hinder your ability or possibility to get a job in the future.

            If you are younger and don’t know how this is possible, it’s because Employers or the potential boss also is able to use the internet. The employer will precede to google you and your information to see if anything sticks out like being a criminal. After that, they check you out on any social media that you participate in, mostly Facebook.

            Not all items on the internet will give you a negative footprint you can have many different things showing how outstanding you and your abilities are. The first of many things that can benefit your Digital Footprint is by creating a blog where you speak formally and informatively. With this your employer can see what an awesome job you do at being punctual if you can post at the same time each week or day if you have the time. Also this will show your employer that you pay attention to detail because you won’t have any spelling errors in it either.

            Blogs aren’t the only thing that can give you a positive footprint in the digital world, like graphics, graphs, charts, and graphs. All these things show your employer that you’re not only smart but you are also able to put that data and information on something and describe the information as a visual concept.

            You need to remember that your Digital Footprint will follow throughout the course of the rest of your life. Even after you have a job your boss will watch your digital steps, and if you aren’t careful you could lose your job or even worse your education.
