Be Aware

Whats up world! I came across this today & found it very interesting & useful. Things are definitely changing around us & what we do or say is critical to our success or lack thereof... Who do YOU represent??? What do YOU stand for??? It's important for us to be aware because someone is always watching us especially with the internet being such a big part of people's lives. So... Enjoy!

We are entering a new era of publicness or publicy, where we are solely responsible for creating and defining our online persona. Some will learn the hard way. Others will learn to take the wheel of their personal brand and steer it in a direction that reveals meaningful opportunities and experiences.

Studies already show that as much as 64 percent of HR managers screen candidates by why they find on social networks. 88% of universities rate social media important in evaluating prospective students. Lenders are researching your social graph to assess your credit risk.

It’s time to take control.

Remember, what works against you also works for you…as George Bernard Shaw once said, “Life is not about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.”
