"You Must Control Your Digital First Impression"

"You Must Control Your Digital First Impression."
Quote by Andrew Berman

Most people know that first impressions are important. Increasingly, first impressions are made in the digital sphere. Even if not a first impression, the digital first impression can be influential. Do not think for one second that when you apply for a job your employer will not search for you online. That includes materials that you posted and materials that others posted about you. Your potential employer may not be able to tell that something written about you is a lie or a joke. You must actively combat the falsehoods and advocate for yourself; it is doubtful that anyone else will do it for you.

"Fight, even if you know you can not win."
Quote by Andrew Berman

When confronted with adversity, the worst thing you can do is give up. What follows is a list of reasons.

1) You might be wrong - When push comes to shove, people find inner strength they didn't know they had. You may win the battle you once thought was hopeless.

2) Protect others - Chances are, you are not the first to be confronted with this injustice and if you do not fight back you will not be the last. By fighting back you may dissuade the perpetrator from doing the same injustice to the next person.

3) Reduce the reward - Generally, the reason the injustice is being perpetrated against you is because the perpetrator is reaping some sort of reward. By fighting back you are likely reducing that reward.
