Digital footprint case study worksheet

Thursday, April 27, 2017


Today I release another free worksheet that I have created on digital footprints and internet privacy, this worksheet is a case study about a lady named Jill who is job searching and concerned that recruiters will find content from her on the internet that may sway their decision to hire her.

Participants can work by themselves or in small groups to try and find ways she can improve her digital footprint and remove some of the unprofessional content of her.

Some of these strategies could be:

  • Adjusting her privacy settings on social media accounts
  • Removing posts or photos that are inappropriate
  • Requesting other people remove inappropriate photos or posts of her
  • Deleting inappropriate content from blogs or other websites associated with her
  • Ensuring all her social media posts are appropriate and use correct spelling and grammar
  • Periodically searching for her name to ensure her digital footprint is professional
Recruiters these days can be very thorough and will often search candidates on the internet first to see what they can find about them, this worksheet can be used to teach participants about how to manage their digital footprint and strategies they can use to maintain a professional online presence.

You can download this worksheet for free here: Case study - Digital Footprint.pdf
