About this episode

Schnelle Acevedo discusses the importance of understanding and managing your digital footprint in relation to job and college applications.

Before a hiring manager calls you in for an interview, they've already Googled you. Before a college admissions officer reads your essay, they've already looked you up. Everything you've ever posted, commented, liked, or shared online is building a picture of who you are — and most people have no idea what that picture looks like. In this episode, NYC digital literacy educator Schnelle Acevedo breaks down what a digital footprint actually is, the real statistics on how employers and colleges are using your online presence to make decisions about your future, the easy pitfalls that trip most people up, and five specific things you can do right now to clean up and intentionally build your online image. Because deleted doesn't mean gone. And the story your digital footprint tells should be one you wrote on purpose. 📚 Digital literacy programs and curricula available for schools nationwide. 👉 Book a workshop: bamdigitalmedia.info/book-workshop
