Your Digital Identity Matters

While doing a search in the Department of Labor’s website, I ran across this webpage on their site:  “Dream It, Plan It, Make It Happen” (http://labor.ny.gov/youth) which is geared to youth ages 14-17 and ages 18-24 (two separate tabs).  Of course, I have a 15 year old, so I decided to check it out.  Once you click on “ages 14-17” or “ages 18-24”, scroll down to “Your Digital Identity Matters”.  Click on that link and READ IT!  (Direct link:  http://labor.ny.gov/youth/14-to-17.page? or http://labor.ny.gov/youth/18-to-24.page?).  It talks about your identity in relation to social networking and the job market.  It is quite informative.  Although it is for youth, I recommend that EVERYONE read it.  It provides very useful information that we can all use.  Learn how to secure your digital identity!

The site offers other useful information, but I thought this particular section was a MUST READ!
