Josh's Book: Chapter One: How social media can hurt your kid's future (Light, Bright and Polite for Teens & Young Adults)
Here are some key takeaways from this chapter:
• Often people underestimate their involvement with social media. Everything you do online lives on in the public sphere, from your LinkedIn bio to your comments on friends’ Facebook posts.
• Most prospective employers—as well as current ones—can and will search for you online to learn more about the person behind the resume (and make sure the person online and matches up with their resume). You want your online posts to show you’re someone the company will be proud to associate with.
• Assume that everything you share online could eventually be discovered by your colleagues, clients, and employer.
• People don’t always tell you if something you post offends them or raises eyebrows—but they will remember it.
• Avoiding social media is not the answer. People like to associate with other people who are engaged in their communities and can be “discovered” online doing positive things and showing their gratitude.
