Journal Entry #7: Digital Access
I never post anything online, ever. I have always been concerned about posting things that seem stupid or that do not make sense or anything like that. I have always been cautious not to post anything too personal either because I don't want that information getting into the wrong hands. I have seen people post things and thought "that could come back and bite them some day." I always consider people going in to a job interview knowing that their Facebook has been thoroughly analyzed and judged. That picture you posted at that Black Sabbath concert from 6 years ago (you know, that one with your weed friendly buddy "Blaze" yeah, they defiantly not only looked at that picture but they looked him up too so they probably know you're friends with a dirty hippie so chances are you aren't getting that receptionist job at the police station. You should always limit your posts and be careful about the contents of the post, you never know who might be seeing it.
The biggest issue with young people when it comes to digital access and privacy is that people do not realize how important it is to keep their posts clean and sensible. Most people never think their job interviewer will be looking at their Instagram or Facebook but they are and your job might depend on weather or not they like what they see, be careful.
