Your friend checks you into a location as a prank because he or she uses Facebook Places.

Do you feel that others can discern fun from your real activities? Is it a type of humor that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in bringing to your future workplace?

Educate yourself about account privacy settings available to you and make conscious decisions about how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to appear to future employers or others who might discover you on the web. One way to keep up with the latest options would be to find a technology news site (mashable.com or techcrunch.com would be two options) and search for â&#x20AC;&#x153;privacyâ&#x20AC;? + â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatever service youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re curious aboutâ&#x20AC;?.

You could also set up a Google News alert (or comparable) for yourself if you want to stay informed as changes occur.

Keep up with ways you can make your first impression online a positive one. The video series at loic.tv, for example, provides an overview of strategies you can use to expand your online presence and make a strong professional impact by sharing your interests. The Career Center also provides advice and resources on these topics. Check our events, the career guide, and our website for more information.

Schedule an appointment with a counselor if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have a conversation on the topic.
