How what you post today shapes opportunities tomorrow — and how to curate it.

Your digital footprint is your second CV — written casually, read carefully. This short explainer (demo content) helps students audit and curate it.

From cleaning up public timelines to building a portfolio that works for you, small deliberate steps change how the internet introduces you.

Key takeaways

  • Recruiters and admissions teams do look you up
  • Old posts can resurface: audit your public profiles periodically
  • Build a deliberate presence: portfolios over rants
  • You can request removal of some content — platform rules apply
