Digital Etiquette / Employability

All too often we can take for granted that we have such a powerful tool at our finger tips. The internet can connect us with friends and family members around the world, as well as individuals who are passionate about the same ideas as we are. Unfortunately, when we take that for granted, we forget that those same connections can also posts and images we didn't intend. With that in mind, we try to always remind each other to THINK before we post (see the image to the right). And, to help show why this can matter, we wanted to share some real world examples of how social media and the web can be a positive tool - as well as something to be wary of.
