Anyone who follows me knows that I’m a big proponent of a “clean appearance” online. Colleges and employers are already eyeing your social media presence and it’s important for your student to put as much effort into “keeping clean” as preparing their college application. Why. ? Because Google never forgets.
Here are some statistics on who is looking for your data:
- 81% of millennials Google or Facebook their date before going out
- 79% of recuiters and hiring managers screen applicants by information available online
- 86% of hiring managers have rejected someone based on information available online
- 7 in 10 internet users search online for information about others
This infographic shows how your college-bound teen’s digital footprint can affect their future.
