Managing Your Digital Profile: For Students and Professionals by Mark WiedornMark Wiedorn
This presentation covers the basics of why you need a Professional Digital Profile which has at its core LinkedIn. This presentation was done for a university student and recent graduate audience but is applicable to to both emerging professionals and established professional.
Understanding OUR Brand: Crafting Our Digital ProfileAngela Maiers
Personal Branding is not something that we are taught to do or often think deliberately about. This presentation urges us to consider the topic for ourselves and our students.
With more and more college recruiters and Human Resource Officers turning to Google and social networks to research potential candidates, it is important that you develop a professional online persona. The internet is moving more and more into the default chronicle of a person's life. Some students believe that they can wait until it is time to graduate to take control of their digital profile, but by that time it may be too late. Your online resume may be as important as your offline resume.
This talk will go over 10-15 ways to
* Take control of your digital profiles
* Separate Your Personal and Professional personas
* Counteract negative entries
and more

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

5. Did you know…?
Digital marketing principles can also be applied to
ourselves to networks and attract potential employers
Creative videos produced by candidates now play an
important role in the job application process
As do blogging, tweeting and participating in relevant
online communities such as LinkedIn
38 million students and recent graduates are now on
LinkedIn, its fastest-growing demographic.
Socialnomics 2014 by Erik Qualmann
6. According to the British Computer
Society…
Employers increasingly require validation of digital literacy skills
and employability can depend on it.
Why is Digital Literacy important to employers and employees?
• Digital literacy is required in 77% of all employment
• Digital literacy is expected to be required in 90% of all
employment by 2015
• Employability for graduates increasingly requires a broad
range of digital literacy skills
• Employers expect graduates to be able to communicate using
digital media”
(http://www.bcs.org/category/17854)
7. Digital Literacy
• “Digital literacy is the ability to locate, organise, understand,
evaluate, and analyse information using digital technology. It
involves a working knowledge of current tools and an
understanding of how they can be used”
• “The active management of online activities such as
collaboration, networking , content creation and curation in
order to “stand out from the crowd” in today’s job market”
• “an ability to respond positively to change”

10. So what are employers doing?
• According to a recent study by Jobvite
– 92% of recruiters use social media in the hiring process
– 80% had been positively influenced by a candidate’s
professional social network profile
– 78% had been negatively influenced towards a candidate’s
inappropriate use of social media
• The best candidates might not be actively looking for
a new job (up to 90% of the workforce)
• Social media can identify the best talent , encourage
conversation and build relationships with them
• Enables recruiters to promote their company as “a
great place to work”
11. Why should you care?
A standard CV is no longer sufficient to stand out from the crowd in a
global and rapidly evolving job market.
“We are currently preparing students for
jobs that don’t yet exist, using technologies
that haven’t been invented, in order to
solve problems we don’t even know are
problems yet.”
- Karl Fisch, “Did You Know”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmwwrGV_aiE
12. So what should job seekers do?
• Recognise that building an online personal brand is
now a critical aspect of career development
• It boosts our reputation and gives us new skills in
communication, creativity and reflective thinking.
• The information we display on social networks
should actively encourage rather than discourage
potential employers
• Don’t “opt out” - finding NOTHING about a person
on a Google search creates a negative impression too
13. The Future of You
“Welcome to a new era of work, where your
future depends on being a signal in the noisy
universe of human capital. In order to achieve
this, you will need to master three things: self-branding,
entrepreneurship, and
hyperconnectivity.”
By Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, in the HBR blog
16. Using social media to get a job
• Connect (LinkedIn, FB, Twitter)
• Collaborate (Skype, Dropbox, Google Drive)
• Create (Wordpress, Soundcloud, Pinterest,
YouTube/Vimeo)
• Curate (ScoopIt, Delicious, Slideshare)
17.
18.
19. Blogs: pulling it all together
• Use the blog framework as a central point pulling in your
other social media content:
– Tweets – Flickr – LinkedIn – Vimeo - Slideshare – Pinterest -
Soundcloud - YouTube
• You can also embed other social media within individual
blog posts
• Video is increasingly important, especially authentic user
generated content
• Provide sharing buttons
• These activities provide a regular supply of “googlejuice” to
the blog
20. Google likes blogging
• Social media interaction with digital content is
the *biggest influence* on its search visibility:
1. Facebook shares
2. Facebook comments
3. Facebook likes
4. Tweets
http://www.socialmediastrategist.co.uk/blog/1-
news/175-social-media-seo
21. Digital Footprints: the practicalities
• It requires a long term strategy to develop a digital
“footprint” which demonstrates our skills, and build
an appropriate network of contacts.
• The successful author and speaker Chris Brogan talks
about “paying it forward” – meaning we should give
before we receive.
• For a more negative view of “digital tattoos”, see this
TED video presented by Juan Enriquez of Harvard
22.
23. Reppler
• Go to http://reppler.com and check your own social
media profiles. The tool highlights any inappropriate
content, and shows you what aspects of your
information are publically available. Then you can
connect directly to Facebook to edit your privacy
settings and adjust the visibility of your content as
necessary.
• This exercise does require you to allow Reppler access
to your social media accounts as explained in their
privacy policy
• “Every potential candidate for 2040 presidental
election is now unelectable due to Facebook” - satire
