Managing your online brand is important in any profession. In addition to being mindful of what you post on social media, knowing prospective and current employers may see it, use Handshake and LinkedIn to strengthen your online brand. You can do this by creating and maintaining a professional profile and engaging in groups and forums in your field on these platforms.
