Online Reputation talk
Online reputation 20/03/2018
Today we had a talk from a former pupil and head of an online protection company about all the aspects of our online appearance our “Online Reputation”. He started off the talk stating that the internet was a good thing but that he believed that social media was a cancer of sorts on our society.
The main point of his message he spelled out quite well at the star that employers will and are using social media and people's online personas to vet them for jobs and positions. He in no uncertain terms told us that everything we do online is tracked and traceable back to us and is used to sell us ads and to determine whether or not to hire you.
I knew most of this already but he spelt it out in quite plane English and it all suddenly became more than just a oh yeah I remember hearing about that to this is happening this is a problem. So overall form the talk I took away that I need to be ever vigilant for what I do and say online with my social media because big brother impolyer really is watching.
