E-Habits: What You Must Do to Optimize Your Professional Digital Presence

0.0

The people with whom we interact electronically do not see us as a flat Facebook page, carefully designed to represent all our best angles, but rather as a living personality that reaches out to them through many different media to project warmth, hostility, caring, intelligence, envy, diligence, or sloppiness - the full gamut of behavior and emotion. Everything from the frequency of our logins, the way we send email, our browsing histories and commenting styles contributes to our "digital profiles" – surprisingly accurate snapshots of our behavior that can be used to confirm suspicions or predict future actions. Your digital self is a complex mosaic of habit, subconscious acts of both omission and commission, and pre-meditated presentations. It is how our peers and friends, bosses and family actually experience us, as ever more of our lives in the real world take place in the digital one. Unfortunately, that perception can reflect badly on you in ways you've never even considered – or reveal things you thought were carefully hidden! Elizabeth Charnock has been leading digital investigations for years, designing digital personality profiles that have helped her successfully catch wrongdoers in a stunning number of companies across America. And all of them, of course, thought their actions were well below the radar. Your E-Habits aren't just a reflection of the “real” you; they are the real you, displayed in, and recorded by, the digital realm. Would you like your digital self if you saw a composite picture of him staring back out of the mirror at you? Would you even recognize her? Is she is need of a serious makeover? Or worse – is he a significant liability into your life, perhaps literally? Read this book and find out.
