Class 6




This week during class we talked about online identity and the consequences of what could happen over an online situation, or even a misunderstanding. I don't use social media much, the only thing that I do use is Instagram, and most of the people that I follow are self employed artists that make clothing, or prints. And because of the online Identity that they have, they are able to post whatever they want (within reason) and get away with it, as well as selling vulgar t shirts
or sweaters. But if someone with a more professional background were to act the same way, they could very possibly lose their job.

Depending on the job you want, and the experience e that you have, some options
may be easier then others. For instance, as a dentist, it would be more difficult to gain an online following, rather than someone that sells art, or gifts.  So finding a niche on the internet would be a safer option.
Another thing that may be difficult in making a name for yourself professionally online, is that you can control what you pout out there, and they type of persona you want to portray, but you cannot control how people perceive you.\So even with a good intent, things could get muddled.
