On top of benefiting from the one of a kind trip that you will remember forever, you will also have everything on film! Although these are both great benefits, the real beauty of this deal is getting 50% off of your Salmon charter.

Keep it to yourself!

Today's post is about privacy on Facebook. Facebook privacy is pretty customizable regarding what you allow people to see and what you don't allow people to see. Settings vary from allowing strangers to see anything they want, to not even allowing them to find you in a search. You can also control who sees your posts and who doesn't. Did you know that people can see things about you that other people post as well and may tag you in? You can also customize your settings on your page so that only specific people can see certain things about you. These are all different things that you have control over on your Facebook account.

 Although you may not think that it's very important, it can have a great impact on your professional image. This is important because a picture can say a lot about you as a person, whether it be accurate or not. How a picture of you is perceived depends on who the viewer is. If you are unsure of how people will respond to a picture that you have on Facebook then it is probably in your best interest to take proper precautions. When it comes to your professional image, you never know who is going to see that picture of you from the New Year's party passed out in the corner. On top of that, if an important person at your current or possible employer sees that picture, you will not have a chance to explain anything nor justify it. This could lead to you not getting the job or possibly losing your current job. Neither of which are going to be good for your career.

After the class session about Facebook privacy I changed the amount of apps I used. I also made sure that my page was a little more private, especially regarding the protection of my friends. I would hate to be the one who jeopardize their privacy. Another thing that I made sure of is that I didn't have any personal contact information on my Facebook page. Personally, I made a few changes to my Facebook page to help protect my professional, and personal image. Now my challenge for you is to lock down your Facebook and protect your professional image.
