Clean it Up

By
Hi everyone, it's me Portia. Well what I have learned in my class is amazing about the internet. I know you guys already know but to me it was new. So the professor talk about clean it up and I did not know what she was talking about until she when on google and google everyone in the class which was amazing to me. I saw myself and others but what you put on your facebook could come back and bite you especially if you are looking for employment. So she give us a little booklet that says clean it up, build it up of , keep it up. It said 79%  of hiring managers/job recuiters review online applicants before a hiring decision..., isn't that something. Well if you have your business out there and it not to clean you better clean it up. Remember that we are in college to better and educate our self so all the dirty stuff got to stop. It also said Rules Of Engagement:Clean it up and then Lock it up, get clean and stay clean. Now you can build it up, get linkedin or get locked out, put your best face forward, tweet this, not that and so forth. Also the professor when on everyone facebook and we saw ourselves and our address also some stuff only our friends supposed to see but potential employers could also see it. Sometimes our thoughts should remain just that, our thoughts. Its has comments that says it's written all over your face, got it, facebook. Also put your best face forward. I seen some of my friends has all and I mean all their business on facebook. I wonder what they did before facebook, I guess they stayed longer on the phone.So to my future grads please be careful what you put on blast because you never know who will be searching the WORLD WIDE WEB.

Thank you. Portia
