Clean it Up

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

To Wear or Not To Wear?: Tips on dressing for success

So, the first step is over. You finished filling out the application for the job; listing all of your work experience, answering numerous questions about your work ethic on an online questionnaire, and you even polished up your hand dandy resume! After restless nights of worrying, you finally get a call saying they would love to have you come in for an interview: now what? First, don't panic ! Finding an appropriate outfit can be intimidating, but with the help of Google it is possible. Second, the outfit you should wear is based on what type of position you are going for or what your potential company is. If it's a store like Macy's, for example, it would make sense for you to wear all black since that's the kind of uniform the employees wear.  If you're working in an office setting, then you should go either business casual or professional.
