Podcast Episode 125: Maintaining a Professional Profile in the Digital Age

December 5, 2017 By Law School Toolbox Team Leave a Comment

Law School Toolbox podcast

Welcome to the Law School Toolbox podcast. Today, we’re talking about how to maintain a professional profile in the digital age where so much of your life is online, for better or worse. Technology is omnipresent; we are connected now more than ever, and in ways we don’t even know about. If you want to maintain a professional image, it is important to be mindful of what you’re posting, where you’re posting it, who can see it (intentionally or unintentionally), and other activities that might put you at risk.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The common-sense factor: you don’t live in a bubble, so respect your own privacy
  • Data being collected by a variety of tech companies, which you may not even know about
  • Creating separate personal/professional profiles, adjusting privacy settings, and other things to think about when protecting your professional image
  • Proactive steps you can take to develop a positive professional profile
  • Google stalk yourself: make sure you know what’s out there about you, and take remedial measures if necessary
  • Quitting the Internet! (No, really!)
